Saskatoon Sutherland - Scott Stelmaschuk to Seek NDP Nomination

The week has already been loaded with Saskatchewan political news including the Sask Party's hijacking of Elections Saskatchewan, yesterday's budget, and this weekend's NDP convention. But there's also some NDP nomination announcement news worth highlighting, as Scott Stelmaschuk (another blogger) has publicly announced his intention to run in Saskatoon Sutherland. For more about Scott, see his Facebook page - which has been revived after an unsuccessful run at the federal nomination in Saskatoon-Humboldt last year.

From the NDP's standpoint, it wouldn't be at all surprising if Saskatoon Sutherland sees a highly competitive nomination contest - and indeed it's one of the ridings which has been mooted as a possible target for leadership runner-up Ryan Meili. But it's great to see Scott putting his name forward, and his hard work this early in the election cycle figures to serve both him and the party well no matter who else ends up in the race.
