Beverley Eert will again be running for the Green Party in the federal riding of Portage-Lisgar.

Eert was announced as the candidate for the party when federal leader Elizabeth May came to Portage la Prairie last weekend as part of her Community Matters Tour.

During the town hall, May spoke of how it'll be important for Greens to get the message out about the party platform, and how the party is a real option in October.

"The connection between the Progressive Conservative point of view, and the Green point of view, is actually quite close, and that our most environmental Prime Minister was Brian Mulroney," says Eert. "What that says to me is, it's not a big shift to vote Green in this riding."

She says the goal for her campaign is to get out and meet as many voters as possible, noting that Portage-Lisgar is a huge riding.

"Reaching out to people, asking them what they want, which is what we did, and what I intend to do," says Eert. "This is more of a listening campaign than a talking campaign. We want to hear what Portage-Lisgar is interested in."

The election is slated for October 21st, 2019.
