Students First New Brunswick

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you to everyone who voted, volunteered, or donated to support our campaign, and also to all of you who found us here on Facebook and helped spread the word.

While we are still waiting for an unknown number of ballots to be counted, the preliminary election results suggest that we fell short of the upset that we were hoping for. However, our team is extremely proud of the movement being built here and we're encouraged by the growing levels of support we continue to see.

Congratulations to our opponents. We all wish them the best and you can rest assured that we will continue to advocate for putting the interests of New Brunswick's students first!
