She’ll be acclaimed at a nomination meeting on August 14.

Partridge calls it a “natural progression” and says agriculture, economic development and protecting the rural way of life will be her priorities.

Longtime MPP Ted McMeekin will be the Liberal candidate for the redistributed provincial riding of Hamilton West-Ancaster-Dundas.

McMeekin has represented Ancaster-Dundas-Flamborough-Westdale for the past 17 years, but that riding is now being redistributed.
