YORKTON – Valerie Brooks is the Green Party candidate for Member of Parliament in Yorkton-Melville.

Brooks, who previously ran for the Green Party in the 2024 provincial election and the 2021 federal election, is determined to bring progressive values and a fresh perspective to the riding in the upcoming federal election.

"My drive to run—and always has been—is to give voters a real choice for change," said Brooks in an interview with SaskToday.ca

"Running for the Green Party allows people who want to vote progressive a viable choice because the Green Party has values that I think would make our communities strong and protect our environment," added Brooks.

A key pillar of Brooks' campaign is her advocacy for electoral reform, particularly proportional representation. She believes this change would not only transform the way Canadians vote but also restore faith in the democratic process.

"One of my biggest things with the Green Party is we are advocates for electoral reform with proportional representation," said Brooks.
