By AUNALYA TURNER
Kate Dupuis has been named as the Ontario NDP candidate for Beaches-East York come the next provincial election.
A long-time resident of the community, Dupuis ran for the NDP in the riding in the 2022 provincial election, falling to Liberal Mary-Margaret McMahon.
“I am excited and ready to join Marit Stiles and the Ontario NDP to fight for what matters most to the community of Beaches-East York: good schools, affordable homes, reliable health care, and a more affordable life,” said Dupuis of her nomination in a recent news release.
“We have seen a complete lack of respect for older Ontarians and their primary care partners, and we know that healthcare has never been more inaccessible for our communities than ever before. Decades of Liberal and Conservative governments have completely neglected the real needs of Ontarians. It’s time for a government who will put Ontarians first, and that government is the NDP, with Marit Stiles as our next premier.”
Dupuis is a healthcare professional and advocate for seniors. Her extensive experience in both healthcare and community service has earned her a reputation as a champion for those in need, particularly seniors facing challenges in accessing care.
The provincial government in Ontario has been Premier Doug Ford’s Progressive Conservatives since 2018. Between 2003 and 2018, the Liberals formed the Ontario government.
In the 2022 provincial election in Beaches-East York, Liberal McMahon had 14,398 votes and Dupuis was in second for the NDP with 13,500 votes.
