High School Principal Seeking Liberal Nomination in Miramichi Bay-Neguac
Posted on
Shawn Wood, the principal of Miramichi Valley High School, has announced that he will be seeking the Liberal nomination in the riding of Miramichi Bay-Neguac, ahead of the by-election set for June 20th.
Wood said his frustrations with the way teachers, parents, and students have been treated throughout the COVID-19 pandemic was part of the motivation for him to enter politics.
Wood has served in the education system for three decades, and said he wants to do whatever it takes to improve the quality of life for residents of the riding.
He said he's tired of the area not having provincial representation, and he's passionate about maintaining community schools and other services in rural areas.
The Liberal party will be holding a virtual convention for the riding on April 10th.
