[PODCAST]: Claire Rattée

The new MLA for Skeena, Claire Rattée has emerged as a strong, effective voice in the BC Conservative caucus. A powerhouse Opposition critic for mental health and addictions right out the gate, she has been lighting it up since her first Question Period when she held Premier David Eby to account for his government’s inaction on addictions treatment services.Claire grew up in the Lower Mainland and moved to Kitimat as a young adult, where she served as an elected councillor and still owns her own tattoo shop. She doesn’t have much time lately for the art she loves, but is thoroughly enjoying that other life-long passion of hers – politics.She joined us in the legislative press gallery studio to talk about her goals for the job, what wakes her up in the middle of the night, who she wants to help the most and the surprising thing that challenges her personally.Hope you enjoy the conversation as much as I did.Feel free to share it and let us know what you think.Thanks for listening!FranPodcast producer: Rob ShawContact us: [email protected] our stories: NorthernBeat.ca This is a public episode.
