Quotes:

NDP Deputy Leader John Vanthof

“Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston needs an MPP that is unwavering in his fight for local families and that’s Drew Cumpson. During this pandemic, the Ford Conservatives failed the people of Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston and continued where the Liberals left off with big cuts and bad decisions. They failed to protect seniors in long-term care and children in schools. They cut health care during this COVID health crisis and they let businesses go under. It’s time for an MPP that cares about you and your life, an MPP who is here for you. I need Drew Cumpson on our strong NDP team to fight for families and a better way forward where you come first.”

Drew Cumpson, NDP candidate for Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston

“I am dedicated to working for families in Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston who need an MPP to fight for them for a change. Consecutive Liberal and Conservative governments have left people facing soaring costs for the basics like housing, hydro and childcare. Doug Ford has left our hospitals in crisis, our schools unprotected and allowed tragedies to occur in Long-Term Care. Our families deserve so much better. I am ready to join Andrea Horwath and the NDP to help make life more affordable and ensure families have the public services where and when they need them.”
