He has been the Lambton-Kent-Middlesex MPP for less than a year, but he will be vying to keep that roll after the Ontario election coming up February 27th. We were introduced to Steve Pinsonneault for the very first time early in 2024 as the once Chatham-Kent City Councillor was the nominee to win the see left vacant by Monte McNaughton. Pinsonneault says since the 2024 by-election in May, he has been doing what he can to serve his constituents.
He went to and attended more than 160 events since his election win. In May of 2024, he won just under 57% of the vote and since not a lot of the voters knew him from the Strathroy-Caradoc area back in May, myFM asked if he thinks it will be different this time around that he will win some votes on the person rather than the party.
He does have goals and focus items as part of his platform.
The PC candidate was asked, why an election now, when many taxpayers are saying this is a waste of money when the Premier should already know his mandate.
He added the relationship with the United States is critical and he believes Premier Ford is the person that’s needed to get it done.
There will be a local election debate happening later this month, but myFM has confirmed, a recent PC Caucus meeting directed all PC candidates not to partake in any debates during the campaign.
Pinsoneault has an office in Wallaceburg and a new office in Strathroy now on Frank Street across from the post office and you can find out more on his website.
