Sask Party MLA for Thunder Creek, Lyle Stewart with wife Linda and grandaughter, Josie
It wasn't even close this year in the Thunder Creek riding, the Sask
Party's Lyle Stewart dominated by more than 4,500 votes to his next
closest competitor. Ryan McDonald of the NDP came in second with 1,297
votes and Jill Forrester finished third for the Green Party with 21.
Stewart was humble about the whole experience and says there were
many people to thank. "It's gratifying to see that the people of
Saskatchewan seem to appreciate the direction our government has been
going. We will continue to be fiscally responsible with balanced
budgets, we'll keep taxes as low as we can while working on things like
the highways, healthcare and social programs."
Stewart says the success of his campaign was due to his team. "I
think we have one of the best bunch of campaigners in any constituency
in the province. The campaign was very well organized and very well
executed and all I did was keep my feet moving and things happened."
The Sask Party ended up taking a total of 49 out of 58 seats, province wide.
