Saskatoon MLA Matt Love is backing Carla Beck as she campaigns to become the next leader of the provincial NDP.

“Carla is a team-builder, she connects with people, and she has the experience to take on Scott Moe and win,” said Love.

Love announced his support for Beck during a news conference at Market Mall on Friday.

Beck says quote “I’ve been travelling all over this province and more and more people are tired of the division Scott Moe keeps pushing,” she added “People are tired of the wrong direction that he and the Sask. Party are taking our province. People are worried about their jobs, they’re worried about how they’ll pay their bills and they’re looking for change.”

The NDP will choose their new leader this month during a convention on June 26th. Both Beck and Kaitlyn Harvey are looking to succeed current leader Ryan Meili.
