Lloydminster has once again asked Colleen Young to represent them in Regina, to which she gives a resounding yes.
"I'm absolutely humbled that people trust me and have the confidence in me to be their advocate and to be their voice in the legislature once again," said Young.
"I think the plan the Sask Party put forward was a strong plan for growth and a bright future for our province."
Young held her election night rally at her election headquarters on 40 Ave. Supporters, volunteers and other elected officials were at the event, including Lloydminster Mayor Gerald Aalbers. He is happy to have some stability on the eastern side of our bi-provincial city.
"We don't want to be political at a municipal level, but it's really important when you've worked for the government for eight years, they understand the challenges and we have commitments from Premiere-Elect Scott Moe," said Aalbers. "He is coming back here in January to meet with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith to discuss some of the issues we've raised for the past eight years."
Young took to the centre of the floor of her gathering around 9:30 p.m. to thank everyone for their help.
"Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you to everyone here tonight, especially all those who have supported me through the last 10 years, not just in this election but since I first ran in 2014," said Young. "I want to thank my husband, he's been there through this whole thing. From knocking on doors to everything, he was right behind me, I can't say enough, thank-you, Kim."
Young said she looks forward to going back to Regina to be the advocate for Lloydminster. She expects the legislature will be back to work in the coming weeks.
