Barley adds the province can’t afford to be divided between regions, politics, and language and must work together in order to be successful.
She is an active community member, having volunteered with several groups, including Crossroads for Women, Downtown Moncton Centreville Inc and the 3 Plus Economic Development Corporation.
Barley announced her candidacy early Friday.
