SOUTHEAST SASKATCHEWAN - The Saskatchewan New Democratic Party is turning to a familiar face to be its candidate in the Cannington constituency in the upcoming provincial election.
The party has announced Dianne Twietmeyer will carry its banner for the Oct. 28 vote. She ran for the NDP in Cannington in the 2020 provincial election as well, finishing third behind Daryl Harrison of the Saskatchewan Party and the Buffalo Party's Wes Smith.
Her bio on the Saskatchewan NDP's website notes that Twietmeyer has been a teacher throughout Cannington and the White Bear First Nations for over 40 years. The bio goes on to say that as a former small business owner of a local bookstore, she also understands the struggles of the small-town economy.
"Dianne is passionate about service to her community, founding Cornerstone Theatre, which maintains a community hall and theatre in Carlyle, and volunteering on the library board and as a member of the legion," the bio states. "A strong advocate for social justice, Dianne seeks to amplify the unheard voices."
Other confirmed candidates for the election in Cannington are Harrison, who is looking for a second term in the legislature for the Sask Party, Naomi Clysdale of the Saskatchewan Green Party and Michelle Krieger of the Buffalo Party.
