Wolseley, SK – Steven Bonk was acclaimed as the Saskatchewan Party candidate for the constituency of Moosomin in the upcoming 2020 provincial election.

“It has been a great honour having been able to represent the constituents of Moosomin since 2016,” said Bonk, “To have the full support of Saskatchewan Party members is encouraging for our party as we head towards the 2020 election.”
