In the lead-up to the next Manitoba election, the Progressive Conservative Party has selected Kyle Waczko as their candidate for the Dawson Trail constituency. Waczko, currently a councillor in the rural municipality of Ste. Anne, will face incumbent MLA Bob Lagassé in the electoral contest. Lagassé had notably returned the Dawson Trail riding to the PCs after a successful campaign against the NDP in 2016. His departure from the party creates an opportunity for the PCs as they attempt to retain the riding in the upcoming election. The changing political landscape in Manitoba is highlighted by this shift, with the party aiming to maintain its foothold in a region that has seen fluctuating support in recent elections.
