MEADOW LAKE - Saskatchewan Party candidate Jeremy Harrison is seeking re-election as the 小蓝视频 for Meadow Lake in the upcoming provincial election.
The incumbent recently served as the Minister of Trade and Export Development, Minister of Immigration and Career Training, and the Minister Responsible for Innovation Saskatchewan and Tourism Saskatchewan.
This is Harrison's seventh election - two running for MP, and five running for 小蓝视频.
Harrison told SaskToday he has been busy on the campaign trail leading up to the election.
"I'm focusing more on the door-to-door, talking with with voters," he said. "But, you know, I have a very experienced campaign team I'm very grateful to, I have had many of them with me now for over 20 years, and [they] are just very, very professional and very good."
Married with two children, Harrison has won the past four elections for the 小蓝视频 seat, and is hopeful for another win this time as well.
One of the highlights of his career as 小蓝视频 is he's been helping make Meadow Lake's new $52 million 小蓝视频 built a reality. There were other projects completed during his time as well, such as the new long-term care facility.
"We built a new courthouse," Harrison added. "We've been able to repair almost all of the roads in north-west Saskatchewan, and again, that's only possible because of the fact that we have the resources to invest because of the fact that we've really concentrated on growing our economy across the province."
Harrison hopes people will vote for him for his long service to the community, marked by many positive results.
"My record is very open and very clear, and it's working hard," he said. "It's working with our community leaders in the north-west. It's, you know, having had the privilege of serving as a cabinet minister for a long time. Really that focus has been on ... growing the economy. Not just talking about it, actually doing it. That's a record I'm proud of.
Harrison added that nearly 70 per cent of everything that's produced in Saskatchewan is exported around the world.
"Having gone from $16 billion in exports to over 50 [billion in the province], that is how you pay for all of those investments into things like healthcare and education, and that's how you grow a budget," he said. "That's how you are able to really deliver on quality of life for for your constituents. So, that's always been my focus, for 20 years. At this point, I'm not just some candidate saying they're going to deliver on this, that or the other thing. I've done it. People can look and see it in a very tangible way."
