Greg Lawrence to be Nominated Tonight as Candidate for Moose Jaw Wakamow

Moose Jaw— MLA Greg Lawrence will be nominated tonight as the Saskatchewan Party candidate in Moose Jaw Wakamow for the next provincial election.

Lawrence was elected to the Saskatchewan Legislature in the 2011 provincial election.

“I am truly honoured that the people of Moose Jaw Wakamow chose me as their representative in the legislature in 2011,” Lawrence said. “I humbly ask for their support and vote again in the next provincial election.”

Lawrence wants to see Saskatchewan continue to move forward so that his children will benefit.

“My children are still in university and technical school,” Lawrence said. “I have one grandchild and another on the way. I want to make sure that the future of our province is shaped in the right direction for them.”

Lawrence currently sits on the Legislature Standing Committee on Human Services and the Caucus Standing Committee on Human Services. In February 2013, Lawrence was appointed Legislative Secretary to the Minister of Social Services for Foster and Child Care.

“I have been especially proud to work as Legislative Secretary for Social Services and work on the Foster Parent’s file,” Lawrence said. “Being a foster parent myself, I have found this role especially rewarding.”

Lawrence says he is happy to be part of the Saskatchewan Party team.

“It’s truly been fulfilling to work with Premier Wall and the entire Saskatchewan Party team,” Lawrence said. “There is more work to be done and I believe that we will continue to see positive change and growth throughout the province.”

With Lawrence’s nomination as the candidate for Moose Jaw Wakamow, the Saskatchewan Party has nominated 10 candidates for the next provincial election.
