Andrew Harrigan nominated as the NDP candidate for Barrie–Innisfil

BARRIE — New Democrats in Barrie–Innisfil have nominated Andrew Harrigan as their NDP candidate in the upcoming provincial election.

“The people of our fast-growing community deserve housing, education and health care infrastructure that keeps up with our needs,” said Harrigan. “After seven years of Doug Ford, we’re falling behind and life in Barrie–Innisfil is getting more expensive. It’s time for a government that’s on our side.”

An advocate and union leader in the children and youth services sector, Harrigan has first-hand experience with the way Conservative cuts have impacted workers, families, and vulnerable kids people across Ontario.

“Andrew is a fighter, and I’m proud to have him on our team,” said Marit Stiles, Leader of the Ontario NDP. “We’ll work together to build homes, hire doctors, and make life more affordable for everyone.”

Quick Facts:

  • Andrew is the President of OPSEU/SEFPO Local 304, with personal experience as a frontline child protection worker
  • An Innisfil resident for many years, Andrew knows the importance of providing a voice for rural communities that have too-often been taken for granted
