Peng You is looking to do something no member of the Ontario PC Party has done in Thunder Bay-Superior North.
Since the riding was created in 1999 from Port Arthur and Lake Nipigon, Liberal Michael Gravelle has won every election with the Progressive Conservative candidate finishing no higher than third place.
The one-term councillor, who immigrated to Thunder Bay, wants to make history on June 2nd as an elected Member of Provincial Parliament.
While our interview request with You was declined, Alexandra Hilkene did provide some answers to an email sent by Acadia News late last week.
“By listening to constituents and being involved in the issues in our community, Peng understands the unique challenges that we face in the North and also understands what needs to get done to build Thunder Bay,” explained Hilkene, when asked about being an Art-Large councillor in Thunder Bay. “The people of Thunder Bay-Superior North need a plan to rebuild our economy, build infrastructure and keep costs down.”
You was first elected to Thunder Bay City Council in 2018.
