It is official, there is a Race for SNDP Leader!
Although I was getting ready to post yet another "Hey look who's not running" post based on the recent announcement by Nettie Wiebe:
Nettie Wiebe, a professor at St. Andrew's College at the University of Saskatchewan and former head of the National Farmers Union, said Tuesday she would not run to succeed Lorne Calvert. Since her leadership campaign
But then someone else went and got in the race:
So now there are two and that updates the list as follows:
A second person has entered the NDP leadership contest, Regina lawyer and former party President Yens Pederson.
He made the announcement at the University, perhaps as a nod to the youth element, as he's up against former deputy Premier Dwain Lingenfelter.
** Yens Pedersen **
** Dwain Lingenfelter **
?? Deb Higgins
?? Len Taylor
?? Frank Quennell
?? Pat Atkinson
?? Dr. Ryan Meili
Bet you anything that the first comment is one of Link's trolls bashing Pedersen.

You can officially count me out of the race, too.
I've been calling for Yens to get in the race and he has. Running for any level of political office be it for city council or leader of a political party it is truly admirable and I wish Yens all the best in the race.
I met him at the coalition rally the other month. He ran in my riding (UofR) and lost to the Sask Party.
