New Brunswick Premier Blaine Higgs is heading west as he fundraises for his re-election campaign this year.
The events are part of a cross-country fundraising campaign for Mr. Higgs, who is seeking a third term as premier leading his Progressive Conservative party.
“New Brunswick allows for political donations from anywhere in Canada,” campaign manager Steve Outhouse wrote in a statement on the campaign website. “I am asking my fellow conservatives across the country to donate today to help a re-election campaign that I believe is important for conservatives across the country.”
Mr. Outhouse said it was important for conservatives from coast-to-coast to support each other.
“Each province and election is unique, but there are policies and values that the vast majority of Canadian conservatives have in common,” he wrote. “When we see politicians who are brave and principled enough to take these positions, I believe it’s important for conservatives across the country to support them.”
The Epoch Times reached out to the New Brunswick Progressive Conservative Party for comment but did not hear back by publication time.
The provincial election in New Brunswick, which is scheduled for Oct. 21, will see Mr. Higgs’ Conservatives try to hold onto power while challenged by the Liberal Party of New Brunswick led by Susan Holt.
