Tim Houston and the
"PC PLAN"
“I believe Nova Scotia deserves better.
We’re working to build a strong team that can
unleash our potential, with a government that listens, puts the personal above politics, and isn’t afraid to try new ideas.
Nova Scotians should see themselves represented in their government. I’m committed to forming a genuinely diverse team to build on our party’s forward-thinking reputation.
We’ve won all but one by-election contested since the last election and we’re just getting started. Sign up on our website today to let us know we can count on your support in the next provincial election.”
