Listen to BlackburnNews.com’s Adelle Loiselle for Five Questions With Rex Isaac.
[audio wav="http://blackburnnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/09/FIVE-QUESTIONS-WITH-REX-ISSAC-NDP-LKM.wav"][/audio] --- Rex Isaac is serving his third term as a Walpole Island First Nation band councillor. Since 2008, he has been working hard for better education, healthcare, economic development and local infrastructure.
Now as he makes the switch to federal politics, Rex is determined to get results for the people he has been serving and for the wider community as well.
With a strong working class background, Rex is no stranger to the hardships faced by today’s families. Rex started his career as an intern in public television at Channel 56 WTVS and worked his way up to the position of Assistant Director. He then moved on to become a steamfitter by trade. Recently, he has been helping to empower the next generation of workers as an instructor at Lambton College.
Rex is proud to live in in Lambton—Kent—Middlesex with his wife and four children. He has been volunteering with the NDP since 1988 and he understands what families need: good middle-class jobs, better health care, affordable childcare and stronger pensions. --- Interesting riding facts:
- Lambton-Kent-Middlesex was created in 1996 from the old Kent and Lambton-Middlesex ridings
- Liberals held the seat from 1997-2006, but Conservative Bev Shipley has been elected since then
