Patty Culbert announced on International Women’s Day that she wants to become the fifty-first woman elected to the Nova Scotia Legislature.
With incumbent Mark Furey announcing last month that he will not reoffer for the next election his position will become vacant once a new election is called.
“International Women’s Day is the perfect day to announce my intention to seek the Liberal nomination,” said Culbert.
“Only 50 women have previously been elected to the Nova Scotia Legislature, so there is certainly room for improved gender representation in Nova Scotia. Today I’m honoured to draw on the strength and wisdom of those women who have gone before me and take the first step toward becoming number 51.”
