Hopes to win northern Ungava riding for Quebec Solidaire in Oct. 3 election
A young Indigenous activist and columnist is taking a step into provincial politics.
Maïtée Labrecque-Saganash announced she will seek the nomination for the Ungava riding in northern Quebec under Québec Solidaire’s banner.
If she wins the seat in the Oct. 3 provincial election, she will be the first Indigenous woman to sit in the National Assembly, say party officials.
“My aunts inspire me,” said Labrecque-Saganash, during a press conference Sunday with the co-spokespeople for Québec Solidaire, Gabriel Nadeau-Dubois and Manon Massé.
