She says this election was the most stressful one she’s ever witnessed during her 6 years as a councillor but is ecstatic to be elected.

Logan says her 13-year career working with Lheidli T’enneh has made her more comfortable in accepting the position.
“I’ve been behind the scenes for so long so the only thing that’s really going to change is I’m going to be upfront now,” she stated.
