The Ontario PC Party has secured its Cambridge candidates for the next provincial election.
On Tuesday, Jess Dixon was acclaimed as the party’s candidate for Kitchener South-Hespeler in the next provincial general election.
The acclamation follows an Oct. 1 announcement that Brian Riddell had been acclaimed the party’s candidate for Cambridge.
A press release from the Ontario PCs says since first being elected, Dixon has championed health care, housing, and economic growth in Kitchener South–Hespeler.
“Jess’s dedication to the people of Kitchener South-Hespeler is unwavering, and her efforts are making a real difference in the lives of families,” said Premier Doug Ford, in the release. “From reliable health care and affordable energy to community safety, Jess’ work is building a brighter future for her community and our province. Her commitment to supporting jobs, housing and reducing costs shows the impact she’s making in the region.”
Dixon said she's honoured to serve the riding.
“Our community deserves reliable health care, affordable energy, and access to housing that supports growth and opportunity. Working together with Premier Ford and our team, I’ll ensure Kitchener South–Hespeler remains a place where families can thrive within a strong, prosperous Ontario.”
In a release about Brian Riddell's acclamation as the Cambridge PC candidate, the party says he has been a strong advocate for his community, drawing on over 30 years of private sector experience in senior management roles and his time as a professor at Conestoga College.
“Brian has been an outstanding representative for Cambridge,” said Ford in the release. “With his private sector experience and commitment to public service, he’s helped create good-paying jobs, attract key investments and improve infrastructure. Brian has fought hard to keep costs down for families, standing up against the Liberal carbon tax. I know he’ll continue to work tirelessly for the people of Cambridge.”
Riddell said he's honoured to serve Cambridge and is excited to continue building on the progress the PCs have made, "ensuring Cambridge remains a place where everyone can thrive—with a strong job market, homes people can afford, and an ever-improving quality of life.”
