Meet Jordan Wiens: Dakota-Arm River Sask. NDP candidate

Q: Tell us a little bit about yourself?

A: I’m Jordan and I work as an agrologist. I am passionate about supporting local agriculture, improving healthcare access and enhancing education opportunities within our community.

In our house growing up, we were taught that if you see something broken, you roll up your sleeves and get it fixed. That’s why I threw my hat in the ring.
