Ontario Greens Deputy Leader Matt Richter has been nominated as the Ontario Greens’ Parry Sound-Muskoka candidate in the next provincial election.
Richter is an elementary school teacher in the Trillium Lakelands District School Board. Since first running for MPP in Parry Sound-Muskoka in 2007, Richter has significantly grown Green support in the riding. In the 2022 election, he secured more than 40 percent of the vote.
“I’m excited to keep fighting for more affordable homes, better healthcare and protections for the people and places we love,” said Richter. “Doug Ford’s Conservatives have taken rural communities like ours for granted, and it’s time for that to change.”
“Matt is a community champion who will be your voice at Queen’s Park,” said Ontario Greens Deputy Leader Aislinn Clancy. “He’s in it for you, not for Doug Ford’s billionaire inner circle, and I’m so excited that he’s back to finish what he’s started.”
“Matt’s energy and drive will get more done for the people of Parry Sound-Muskoka, and I’m delighted to have him back on board,” said Ontario Greens Leader Mike Schreiner.
“Aislinn’s recent landslide win in Kitchener Centre shows that Green momentum is growing. Matt has been integral to building that momentum in Parry Sound-Muskoka.”
“I can’t wait to continue working alongside this powerhouse team to build an Ontario that puts people before profits.”
