Judy Klassen drops out of Manitoba Liberal leadership race

The race to become the new leader of the Manitoba Liberals has just three candidates after Judy Klassen dropped out to throw her support behind Burrows MLA Cindy Lamoureux. “I’m really excited to be here with my friend and colleague, Cindy, Manitoba’s future youngest premier, and a female to boot,” Klassen said. “In Cindy, I see a passion and an eagerness to learn and a dedication and a strong work ethic — all the things we need for a great leader going forward. And personally, I just want to focus on my constituency. They’ve mostly been ignored for many decades.” Klassen said her constituency has recently dealt with a suicide, a murder and a fatal rollover, all of which made her want to shift her focus.
