Another bid for the MPP seat in Lambton-Kent-Middlesex in a span of 9 months and Liberal candidate Cathy Burghardt-Jesson falling short of that quest as she was beaten by PC incumbent Steve Pinsonneault. She earned 26.2% of the total vote and did congratulate Pinsonneault but was disappointed in the election results.
She did give a ton of credit to her team of volunteers
When asked about maybe throwing her hat in the ring for a federal election, she said, that question was too soon to be asked.
