Sask United Party

New Sask United candidate for Humboldt-Watrous focused on taking back power for the people

Sep 11, 2024 | 2:00 PM

Carrie Ann Hradecki is the new candidate for the Sask United Party in the Humboldt-Watrous riding.

The teacher and entrepreneur who grew up on a farm in Lake Lenore is ‘concerned about where the province is heading’.

“I see a loss of freedoms in our province, and I see an overreach of the federal government. The Saskatchewan United Party will push for our provincial economy, and we’ll take back power for the people of Saskatchewan,” Hradecki told northeastNOW.

“I feel that my background as an educator has given me a lot of experience in working with people, so I feel I have a good understanding of people’s needs and what the issues are during their daily lives. I want to make people’s lives better, and right now, I see that our province is in crisis.”

Hradecki taught high school at Makwa Sahgaiehcan First Nation for three years and was awarded teacher of the year by their parent council.

She has also taught employability skills and did industry recruitment for Carlton Trail Regional Economic Development Authority, while also teaching at My Royal and Bedford Road in Saskatoon for seven years, along with a number of years in Prince Albert.

Hradecki is currently a substitute teacher for Horizon and Saskatoon Catholic School divisions, and has opened and operated a bed and breakfast in Paddockwood.

“I see our education in crisis. The recent immigration has taxed the system and the schools need some support to stabilize that. Our parents have a lot of concerns with sending their kids back to school this fall, so our party will stand up for parental rights in school. As an educator, it has always been drilled into me that parental rights are very important,” she added.

Hradecki is a parent herself, as she is a mother to two boys, residing in Bruno.

She obtained a Master of Education Psychology and Special Education, doing her thesis on supports for adults with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder and has given many presentations throughout the province.

“Healthcare is also in crisis right now, where I see people waiting to get in for very serious surgeries. Our party will recruit more doctors and nurses and create efficiencies in the hospitals, with less bureaucracy so that people can be treated,” Hradecki continued.

“Our families, seniors and young people are struggling to make ends meet, homelessness is growing rapidly, and this is not okay. We will make life more affordable by cutting the PST in half, as well as other initiatives. Our bottom line is returning transparency, accountability, and honesty in our government. These are the values that I grew up with as a farm girl in Saskatchewan, and I want the people to come first.”

This will be Hradecki’s first experience on the political scale, as her only other former encounter was running for Humboldt council.

She views her ‘new party’ as a benefit to the people, as no corrupt ties have been created and they’re still just ‘regular people’ with a voice for the constituents.

Hradecki is excited about the opportunity for change and less government involvement, as well as being against Net Zero policies, which she believes would be a disaster for farmers.
