The Lumsden-Morse by-election is quickly approaching, giving eligible voters the opportunity to cast their vote for one of five candidates. 

Lumsden-Morse, a provincial electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of Saskatchewan, covers the rural area along the Trans Canada Highway between Swift Current and Regina, excluding Moose Jaw. To the northeast, it expands to the shores of Last Mountain Lake and includes the towns of Lumsden and Regina Beach.

Kaitlyn Stadnyk is bringing a sense of enthusiasm and a drive for change to the upcoming Lumsden-Morse byelection, as she represents the New Democratic Party. 

Stadnyk's deep-rooted ties to her community and her academic pursuits in human justice have pushed her to step onto the political stage, with goals of addressing pressing issues and fighting for positive change. 

Originally from a farm, just outside of Lumsden, Stadnyk's upbringing instilled a strong connection to rural life. 

Blaine McLeod, an experienced dairy farmer from Caronport, with 42 years of farming under his belt, is running in the upcoming Lumsden-Morse byelection, representing The Saskatchewan Party. 

McLeod's strong ties to the community and desire to serve the people have motivated him to enter the political arena.
