Newly-elected Conservative MP Derek Sloan is running for the party leadership.

“I’m in. It’s time to stop being afraid to be conservative. Stay tuned…”

Sloan was elected in 2019 in the riding of Hastings-Lennox & Addington.

In a press release, Sloan said “I feel the party focuses strictly on economic issues, which are very valid, but we need to go above and beyond. We need to be the dominant political force in this country.”

He also said the party should be “Conservative in every traditional sense, including those that many candidates do not have a plan for.”
