Kevin Holland is hoping to secure a PC seat in Queen’s Park for the riding of Thunder Bay-Atikokan.
His hope is to defeat the current NDP incumbent Judith Monteith-Farrell in next month’s election.
“Coming from a smaller community, obviously it’s a larger area that you are running for,” Holland explained to Acadia News, when discussing the move to run for the province. “I think the biggest difference is you are representing a party instead of running as an individual. Part of what I had to look at was what the policies and what the positions were of the different parties, and find the one that I thought best suited what I believe was needed to move our riding forward.”
Holland currently serves as the Mayor of the Township of Conmee.
The 30-year member of council and business owner feels experience is why you should vote for him, adding “I have served on several agencies in the political field, different committees and organizations. I have had several provincial appointments, so I feel like I have a really good handle on what it is we need in the riding and how we get results for the riding.”
Holland also wants to look at securing additional employment opportunities at the Alstom Plant and support the Northern School of Medicine (NOSM) University.
Election Day is Thursday, June 2nd.
