SAINT JOHN, N.B. — Fundy-The Isles-Saint John West MLA Andrea Anderson-Mason says she's not re-offering for the Progressive Conservatives six years after first winning in the long-time Liberal riding.
"Because there is little-to-no communication between myself and the premier, I think that makes getting things done for my area challenging," she said."At the end of the day, we have to make the best decision for myself, my family, but most of all for my area." "I feel like I have a lot to offer," said Anderson-Mason, citing 17 years of legal experience."I feel like my biggest gift is representing those who feel represented, and government didn't really give me the opportunity to do that the way I expected."
Regarding Policy 713, Anderson-Mason said she didn't consider it a"defining moment of my political career." When asked what caused the issues, Anderson-Mason did not mention any particular issue but said she is"an ardent defender of the rule of law." "I think people believe we're involved in those decisions and we're not," she said."When I would speak up about it, it would appear I was going up against my government, but I never had an opportunity beforehand to discuss it behind closed doors."
