The former deputy mayor of Tecumseh, Cheryl Hardcastle, is running as a candidate for Windsor-Tecumseh in the New Democratic Party.

Hardcastle graduated with a degree in political science and government, as well as a degree in communications and media Studies, from the University of Windsor.  After graduating, Harcastle spent 20 years as a report and editor for The Tecumseh Tribune. She won the NDP MP role for the riding in 2015.

Hardcastle is a member of both Windsor and Essex Solid Waste Authority and Essex Region Conservation Authority Board. She has also been a member of the National Pension Reform committee in helping to reduce poverty in Windsor and Essex, giving Canadians a better retirement plan.

Previously, Hardcastle has introduced a bill to make employment and social development responsible for providing information and guidance to people with disabilities on all federal applications for grants, benefits and compensation as a means of reducing the administrative burden on applicants. She was first elected to the House of Commons to represent Windsor-Tecumseh in 2015 as a member of the NDP. She has served as the party’s critic for sports and persons with disabilities, while appointed the vice-chairman for international human rights.

Hardcastle has published books for adults with reading challenges, and has organized sports programs and tournaments for children with disabilities. She has served as president for the Sun Parlor Female Hockey Association.

According to Hardcastle, voters should consider her because she “will be there” for them as their representative in the House.
