WALDINGER BECOMES THIRD TO SEEK GREEN PARTY OF SASKATCHEWAN LEADERSHIP

SASKATOON – The race for the leadership of the Green Party of Saskatchewan has a new entrant. Saskatoon resident Larry Waldinger has thrown his hat in the ring, joining fellow candidates Victor Lau and Brendan Cross in a race that will be determined at a leadership convention this coming Sunday, September 25 in Regina.

“I want to help breathe fresh air into the politics of our province by leading a party that is dedicated to confronting the major challenges of our time. At this juncture in our province’s history we need to bring people into our democracy, address climate change. We also need to come to grips with the normalization of diseases like cancer, autism, and diabetes.” says Waldinger, a graduate of the University of Saskatchewan.

Waldinger says the Green Party of Saskatchewan needs to be engaging citizens on a regular basis and looks forward to the challenge. “For months now I’ve been leading by example by demonstrating this approach. My riding of Saskatoon-Sutherland has done the most outreach, raised the most money, and has the largest volunteer base. As the prospective leader I wish to help other ridings develop a more community-oriented approach to politics,” states Waldinger.   

“Whether it be policy development that reflects the aspirations of our people or by inviting citizens into the democratic process in our 58 constituencies, we are building a party that will alter the shape of Saskatchewan’s political landscape. We are focused and ready to assume this responsibility,” says Waldinger.

“I would also like to take this opportunity to thank my fellow leadership contenders, Victor Lau and Brendan Cross, for their dedication to the democratic life of our party and province. I look forward to discussing the major issues of the day with them and together help to inspire others to become involved,” says the Saskatoon resident.
