CHMA joined New Brunswick Green candidate for Tantramar Megan Mitton as she and three party volunteers canvassed door-to-door in a Sackville neighbourhood last week. This is part of a series of walkabouts that CHMA is doing with all candidates who respond to CHMA’s request to join them.
“The cool thing about doing doors is that you get to learn so much about your community,” says Mitton. “And I’ve knocked on doors a bunch of times now, so I actually can see how things change and how the issues change.”
Mitton first ran for the NB Greens in 2014, and then won a seat on Sackville town council in 2016. She ran provincially in 2018 and 2020, winning a seat in the legislature both times.
Mitton says in the past there was more a variety of issues that came up at the door, but in this election she most often hears about health care. (And there’s also the odd person who doesn’t realize an election has been called.)
