HAPPY VALLEY-GOOSE BAY, N.L. — Yvonne Jones, Liberal member of Parliament for Labrador, says she won’t be running in the next federal election.
Jones has been public about her past battles with breast cancer, and she told a crowd in Happy Valley-Goose Bay that she is cancer-free, healthy and ready for new adventures.
She says she’ll stay on as Labrador’s member of Parliament for the remainder of her term.
Jones was first elected to the House of Commons in 2013 and is the parliamentary secretary to the minister of northern affairs and to the minister of national defence.
Her announcement this morning comes a day after her Liberal colleague, Gudie Hutchings, said she would not be seeking re-election in the Long Range Mountains district in western Newfoundland.
Jones is the fifth Liberal in Newfoundland and Labrador to announce they won’t be running in the 2025 federal election, the fixed date for which is in October — but the vote could be called earlier.
Newfoundland and Labrador’s seven seats in the House of Commons are represented by six Liberals and one Conservative.
