Hampton Says Thanks

Kenora-Rainy River MPP Howard Hampton is giving thanks to the people who supported him in past elections.

Hampton, who decided earlier this month not to seek reelection, says the hard work of so many volunteers helped keep him at Queen's Park for nearly a quarter of a century.

"There are many people who worked on every campaign. They've contributed financially. They put up signs. They knocked on doors," says Hampton. "I can't thank them enough. These aren't people who were paid for this. They gave of their free time. They volunteered."

Hampton will participate in one more election by helping campaign for the riding's new NDP candidate Sarah Campbell.
