The Ontario Liberal Party has named their candidate in Essex. Kate Festeryga secured the nomination Wednesday.
“Essex County is my home, and it needs a strong voice at Queen’s Park that reflects its importance in our province,” said Festeryga.
In a release from the party, Festergya, who works as an issues manager with the Ontario government, said her “experiences in the front line of public service help her understand how to accomplish real, positive change for the people in her community and build up the programs and services that people rely on.”
