With many requests to make a run at federal office, Adelina Pecchia has decided that 2021 is the time to pursue it.
In a conversation with Acadia News, the now Conservative candidate in Thunder Bay-Rainy River chose to put her name forward to ensure that the Canada she grew up in helps shape the Canada of the future.
“What I’m doing right now in my work is really no different than being a politician,” says Pecchia. “I believe that most politicians care about people but what I want is for Canada to be a place of resource, care, and renewal for all who are coming after us.
