Former PC deputy premier endorses local NDP candidate
MEDICINE HAT, AB – The NDP candidate running in Cypress-Medicine Hat received an endorsement from the former deputy premier of the progressive conservative party.
Thomas Lukaszuk was at the Medicine Hat NDP campaign office to announce his support for Cathy Hogg and NDP Leader Rachel Notley while denouncing UCP Leader Danielle Smith.
“I can tell you the difference between the two leaders is day and night,” Lukaszuk told supporters.
Lukaszuk served as the province’s deputy premier with the Progressive Conservative Party in 2012. He served as minister of employment and immigration under Premier Ed Stelmach and minister of education under conservative Premier Alison Redford.
