Jul 24, 2026 | Local News

Nova Scotia Liberal Leadership candidate Amanda Mombourquette, who has been travelling the province campaigning, made a stop at her home turf of St. Peter’s Wednesday night for a celebration event.
Mombourquette announced her candidacy for the leadership in June, around the same time as the Cheticamp-Margarees-Pleasant Bay by-election.  She says rather than draw resources from the by-election, a soft launch to her campaign was held then.  A celebration event for her campaign was held Wednesday night in St. Peter’s.  Mombourquette says it was a great celebration.

Mombourquette says her campaign is going well.
Mombourquette says her background in economic development and her service on Richmond Municipal Council as both Warden and Deputy Warden will be assets should she be elected leader in November.
Mombourquette says she is a pro-business candidate, believing economic development will allow the province to invest back in key areas like education and health care.
