Feeling deeply grateful and honoured to be sworn in for the third time as the MHA for St. John’s Centre. Serving this incredible district continues to be the greatest privilege.

A heartfelt thank you to my loving family for standing by me every step of the way. 😊

Congratulations to Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani for leading an invigorating and hopeful campaign grounded in community and a vision for a more inclusive, affordable, and equitable future.

My heart goes out to the workers and the entire community of St. Mary’s after the devastating loss of the fish plant last night. This is a difficult time for so many, but I have every confidence in the strength, resilience, and compassion that define our communities.

My sincere congratulations to Kate White and the Yukon NDP on being elected as the Official Opposition last night.

Now more than ever, strong New Democratic voices are needed to stand up for people, demand accountability, and fight for a fair and equitable future.

Seven months ago, the Liberals said cutting the HST from home heating couldn’t be done.

They blocked you from saving money — just so they could campaign on it later.

If I’d known it would take an election for them to act, I would’ve called for one every week.

Thank you to Yvette Coffey and the team at @rnunl.bsky.social for having me on the Scrubbing In and Speaking Out podcast to discuss the NDP’s position on issues directly impacting their members and truly all healthcare workers.

Today, Sheilagh O'Leary and I announced the NDP commitment to removing the provincial HST from all forms of home heating. Not just electricity, but wood, oil, and propane. We would keep the $500 oil rebate in place to ensure that we are getting more money back into peoples pockets.

I had an excellent time out canvassing in Arnold's Cove with our candidate for Placentia West-Bellevue Jasmine Paul. Thank you to everyone who took the time to speak to us. I know that Jasmine will be a strong voice for the people of this district.

We should have a government that prioritizes the people of this province above all else.

We’ve got people who are trying to help through non-profits but they just aren’t getting the support from the government – the Liberals are choosing to prioritize for-profits corporations.

Education for all.

Thank you MUNSU, MUNFA, CFS, and all involved in today's march to bring back the tuition freeze.

Memorial University, the students, faculty, and workers, are our future. It's time for a government that recognizes that, not with words, but with actions.

We have heard heartbreaking stories over the last number of years about senior couples being split up when entering long-term care.

That is why the NDP committed to bringing in new legislation that prioritizes couples being placed together in long-term care.

Today is a day to reflect, to learn, and to continue fighting for justice for Indigenous people and communities.
I hope to see you at the First Light Rally at 2pm today.
September 30th is the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

Today is a day to reflect on the history of residential schools in this country and in our province. 1/4

Today I announced the NDP's commitment to raising the First Time Home Buyers Program from $1500 to $3000 so that more people can make their dream of owning a home a reality.

They put their own politics ahead of helping families save money.

You deserve a better deal.

Thank you David, Catherine, Elijah and Penelope for hosting us today to release the NL NDP's costed platform.

It offers practical and responsible solutions to immediately lower costs for families and gets our healthcare system back on track – but it does so in a way that lives within our means.

Lowering costs.
Fixing healthcare.
No new taxes.
No service cuts.

All with 4 balanced budgets.

That’s the NDP plan.

Today, I announced the NDP NL Cares healthcare plan, a robust, solutions-driven healthcare plan aimed at tackling the staffing shortages and improving patient care across the province.

My commitment to transparency clear: putting the people of Newfoundland and Labrador first and bringing in political finance reform within 100 days following comments made defending the status quo of corporate donations by both the Liberal and Conservative campaigns. @nlndp.bsky.social
September 23, 2025 at 2:26 PM
Today, as part of the NL NDP’s commitment to becoming the most transparent government in the province’s history, I announced that we would end the revolving door between NL cabinets and corporate boards who have interests before the province by extending the cooling off period for elected officials.

This morning before heading to Labrador, I announced the NDP's Regional Transit Strategy.

For far too long, Successive Liberal and Conservative governments have focused on what they can take from Labrador while ignoring the people who actually live here and make this province run.
