OTTAWA – Conservative MP Jake Stewart says he won’t run in the next election.
In a post on social media, Stewart says the last 18 years in politics have taken a toll on his family and his health.
The news comes after media reports about a dispute between former staffers and the Conservative electoral district association in Miramichi—Grand Lake, and concerns about Stewart’s conduct.
CBC, the Telegraph-Journal and the Toronto Star have reported that staffers complained about a toxic work environment, and that some Conservatives in the area were mobilizing to choose a different candidate for the next election.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre’s office did not immediately respond to a request for comment this morning.
Stewart — who was nominated to run for the Conservatives in the next federal election — was first elected to city council in 2008 and served as an MLA in New Brunswick from 2010 until 2021, when he won a seat in the federal election for the Conservatives.
