REGINA – The first Aboriginal woman elected to the Saskatchewan legislature is considering a leap to federal politics.
New Democrat Joan Beatty says she’s been approached by both the NDP and the Liberals to run federally in a northern Saskatchewan riding. The vast Desnethe-Missinippi-Churchill riding north of Prince Albert was left vacant when Liberal MP Gary Merasty resigned in August.
Beatty says she has several decisions to make, including whether to run federally and if so, for which party.
She says she’ll talk to her family and constituents in Cumberland over the holidays and make a decision in early January.
The former journalist was first elected to the Saskatchewan legislature in 2003 and re-elected in November.
