The Nova Scotia Liberal Caucus is welcoming Becky Druhan, MLA for Lunenburg West, to the team.
After spending the spring sitting as an Independent MLA, Druhan said her decision came after conversations with constituents and reflection on how she could best serve both her community and the province.
“This decision is about how I can best serve Lunenburg West and Nova Scotia,” said Druhan. “I believe the Liberal team shares my commitment to thoughtful, forward-looking leadership that delivers accountable government, strong public services, and economic opportunity. I appreciate the approach of both Iain Rankin and Derek Mombourquette in listening, collaborating, and staying focused on moving Nova Scotia forward. The Liberal team has the foundation to provide the leadership Nova Scotia needs, and I want to be part of rebuilding and strengthening that work.”
Interim Liberal Leader Iain Rankin said Druhan’s experience and collaborative approach will strengthen the caucus as the Liberals continue the process of rebuilding the party and holding the Houston government to account.
“Becky brings integrity, thoughtfulness, and a strong commitment to public service. She understands the challenges Nova Scotians are facing and shares the belief that government can be fiscally responsible while continuing to invest in healthcare, affordability, economic opportunity, and a sustainable future. We’re excited to welcome Becky to the Liberal team and look forward to working together to deliver practical solutions for Nova Scotians.”
As a member of the Liberal Caucus, Druhan will become Caucus Chair and assume the critic responsibilities for Health, Seniors and Long Term Care, Addictions and Mental Health, Public Works, Housing, Cyber Security and Digital Solutions, Service Nova Scotia, Communications, and the Nova Scotia Advisory Council on the Status of Women. She will also serve as a member of the Public Accounts, Community Services, Human Resources, and Health committees.
