‘It’s just time’: MP Gerry Ritz retires from politics
One of the longest serving Tory MP’s has called it a career.
Gerry Ritz announced late Wednesday on social media that he would be resigning as the Member of Parliament for Battlefords-Lloydminster.
“I think it’s just time,” Ritz said in an interview with battlefordsNOW. “I’ve been involved in federal politics for almost 25 years so I think the time is right.”
Ritz. 66, began his political career in 1993 as a member of Elwin Hermanson’s staff when he was elected as Reform Party MP for the former riding of Kindersley-Lloydminster.
