Hagan running for NDP in Oak Ridges - Markham
By Bill Rea

A political veteran is going to try and put Oak Ridges - Markham in the New Democrats corner after the Oct. 10 provincial election.

Janice Hagan has run six times for the NDP, three of them in provincial campaigns.

"We need to change a lot of things," she declared, adding the NDP has the best plan of all the parties. "We don't need government that plays a lot of games and gives things away at the last minute."

Hagan works in student services at Seneca College and is active in her union where she represents the interests of a diverse membership. "I'm a hard worker," she said, adding she's used to working with people.

She's also very familiar with the area, having previously lived in Oak Ridges and worked at the King campus of Seneca.

"I think we have a good chance this time," she remarked. "People don't want to go backwards with the Tories and (Premier Dalton) Mcguinty's done nothing for four years."
