Quotes

NDP Leader Andrea Horwath
“After the pandemic laid bare how vulnerable the government has left older adults, Laura Mae fought to get them, their families and their caregivers a Seniors’ Advocate in this province. The fight isn’t over just yet, but it goes to show the kind of advocate Kitchener families have in Laura Mae. With Laura Mae on our team, the NDP will be unstoppable as we form government in 2022 and get to work fixing long-term care and home care, making owning and renting a home more affordable, and finally realizing all-day two-way GO service in Kitchener.”

Laura Mae Lindo, NDP candidate for Kitchener Centre
“Kitchener families deserve better than to be let down by Liberals again or watch life get even harder because of Conservative cuts. That’s why I’m running again in 2022 as the NDP candidate in our community. We can give seniors better quality of life, we can help families find homes they can afford, and Andrea Horwath’s New Democrats have the plans to get it done.”
