Susan Holt is the first woman elected to lead the New Brunswick Liberals and will now turn her attention to rebuilding the party ahead of the next election in 2024.

Former federal MP T.J. Harvey has announced his bid for the leadership of the Liberal Party of New Brunswick, the first to do since the resignation of former leader Kevin Vickers.

Harvey was elected to represent the riding of Tobique-Mactaquac in 2015.
