Claudia Chender has always been a fighter

Claudia Chender's first election win was in Dartmouth South as a member of the New Democratic Party in 2017. She was victorious in her bid for re-election in 2021 and earlier this year, she entered the race to replace Gary Burrill as party leader. After the deadline for candidates passed this weekend, Chender was the only one registered. She will become leader during the NDP convention June 24th-26th in Dartmouth. And she is confident in her goal to become the next Premier of Nova Scotia. She says the biggest issue facing the province is the rising cost of living and the challenges many people are having in trying to make ends meet. Chender shares some of the goals she has set for herself and the party and why she feels this is a job she's been working towards, her entire life.
