Manitoba Conservative backbencher Shannon Martin joins roughly one-third of Tories elected in 2019 who have resigned their seats in recent months
Shannon Martin, a longtime backbencher who says he has at times rubbed people the wrong way, has become the latest Manitoba Progressive Conservative to decide not to run in the provincial election slated for Oct. 3.
“And you need to make that decision that the best thing for me, personally, and for my family is to simply move on to new opportunities.” Despite a reputation as a hard worker and previous experience with the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, Martin was never given a cabinet post, even as most other Winnipeg-area Tories were during various cabinet shuffles under former premier Brian Pallister and his successor Heather Stefanson.
