Kate White is a people person.
No more, no less.
White, of course, is the leader of the Yukon New Democratic Party. This is her first election campaign as leader after 10 years as an MLA.
Under her direction, the party has taken a sharp turn to the left of centre, distancing itself from more moderate former approaches under other leaders. It’s not something you will ever find her apologizing for, even if turns out to be a flawed strategy for winning office.
The mood among the NDP is enthusiastic and optimistic... traits White values quite highly. Likely more than experience.
