Jim Reiter has been an MLA since 2007 and in cabinet since 2009.

Now the NDP candidate for Lumsden-Morse is trying to break through a Saskatchewan Party hold on rural Saskatchewan ridings ahead of Monday's provincial election.

Saskatchewan NDP candidate Brenda Edel is making a push down the stretch of the provincial election to challenge Saskatchewan Party MLA Jim Reiter in Rosetown-Delisle.

"I felt the province and people of Rosetown-Delisle deserve better than they're receiving," Edel said. "I hear messages on the doorstep people that are struggling being able to afford to pay bills, healthcare, affordability and crime."
