    A bunch of former SK cabinet ministers and MLAs endorse Beck.

    Starting with this incredible endorsement. So grateful to have the support of these powerhouse NDP women who tore down barriers and broke through glass ceilings. They know what it takes to win and deliver. Together, we can do it again!
