MLA Herb Cox backs Moe’s leadership
As Scott Moe gets set to become Saskatchewan’s 15th premier following his historic win during Saturday’s Saskatchewan Party leadership race, one local MLA says he is excited about the future of the province under Moe’s tutelage.
Battlefords MLA Herb Cox took part in the Sask Party Leadership Convention in Saskatoon and said it was everything he expected and maybe more.
“It was pretty exciting with tremendous energy in the building,” Cox said. “It was my first contested leadership race that I had been a party of and it was a lot of fun.”
It was a long day for the party faithful as the voting came down to a fifth ballot with the former Environment and Rosthern-Shellbrook MLA Moe narrowly edging Alanna Koch for the leadership of the Sask. Party to become premier designate.
