Andrew Thomson Returns For Deb Higgins
Former Finance Minister backing her leadership bid
She may not have the support of as many caucus colleagues as one of her rivals, but NDP leadership candidate Deb Higgins is still pulling in the big names.
Traveling all the way from Toronto where he now lives, former Finance Minister Andrew Thomson is backing the Moose Jaw MLA.
For many party members he was seen as the natural successor to Lorne Calvert.
Andrew Thomson chose instead after twelve years in politics to step away from politics.
But he says thanks to his years working alongside Deb Higgins, her community activism and her family life, he feels she is the right leader for the party.
Higgins hasn't done much public work since announcing her candidacy.
She's contends this is an internal party campaign and in her opinion should be concentrated on the grassroots.
