STELLARTON, N.S. -- Pro-lifer
Roseanne Skoke has resurfaced in politics, this time as a Liberal candidate
in the up-coming provincial election in Nova Scotia.
The Stellarton lawyer was
acclaimed Feb. 20 as Liberal candidate for Pictou Centre. This will be
her third major political campaign in the past year.
The Central Nova MP, known
for her strong pro-life views, lost a Liberal nomination bid last March
for the federal riding of Pictou-Antigonish-Guysborough.
In July, she finished third
in a provincial leadership race that saw Russell MacLellan named premier
of Nova Scotia.
Ms. Skoke is going up against
Conservative party Leader John Hamm in the Pictou Centre riding. The election
is set for March 24.
“We’re going to recapture
what rightfully belongs to us,” she told the Halifax Herald. “We are revved
up and ready to go on the campaign trail.”
