The Selwyn resident is a third-generation farmer and a small business owner. She operates her family farm alongside her husband and Peterborough paramedic, Connor with their children.
“I am thrilled to be the Liberal Candidate for Peterborough,” said Harrison. “I intend to be an MP who builds bridges instead of creating division, who understands that community has to come first instead of partisanship, and who will represent everyone, not just those who voted for me.”
Lauren Hunter, Peterborough Federal Liberal Association Chair, endorses the party’s decision and believes Harrison is fit to represent the riding.
“We are grateful to have such a thoughtful, caring, and practical candidate in Emma, and we are confident she will be an excellent representative for Peterborough,” she said. “As our country faces unprecedented threats, now is the time to unite behind a candidate who can help build a stronger Canada.”
Harrison will challenge incumbent Conservative MP Michelle Ferreri and NDP’s Heather Ray. The Green Party has yet to declare a candidate.
