February 22 (Moncton) – Liberals gathered in the riding of Moncton East this evening to nominate Alexandre Cédric Doucet as their candidate for the next provincial election.

As the event began, Leader of the Liberal Party Susan Holt said “If there is one thing we know it is that we cannot keep going in the direction we are going. It is going to take a team to turn this province around, not one person. That is why I am excited to have Alexandre’s voice to represent Moncton East.”

Moncton East is the eighth riding where the Liberal Party is holding a nominating convention leading up to the next election. Alexandre Cédric Doucet is a lawyer by trade and past president of La Société de l’Acadie du Nouveau-Brunswick. He is passionate about ensuring we get New Brunswick back on track, specifically in addressing the key challenges we’re facing on housing, cost of living, and supporting seniors.

Following the win, Doucet said “Being a Liberal means ensuring all New Brunswickers have equal opportunity and access to succeed, regardless of age, heritage, language or sexual orientation.”

In closing the event, surrounded by a number of current Liberal MLAs and recently nominated candidates, Holt said, “New Brunswickers deserve a team of people who are supporting them from corner to corner to corner in this province. Not just one man in one office in Fredericton who makes all of the decisions. They deserve a team that works together. I am so proud to have the team that we do, and to be adding Alexandre to that group today.”
