Susan Holt, the first female premier of New Brunswick, is making a significant impact just two months into her tenure. In a candid year-end interview, she expressed her aspirations and envisioned changes for the province. Holt, who emerged victorious in October, described her election win as both an honor and privilege. Her trailblazing achievement caught the attention of Hillary Clinton, the former American presidential candidate. Holt recounted the surprise of receiving a congratulatory note from Clinton, a figure she has long admired.
Reflecting on her leadership approach, Holt emphasized the need for a departure from traditional models. Having navigated male-dominated environments, she advocates for a leadership style that is more service-oriented and empathetic. Holt believes that New Brunswickers desire a government that genuinely cares for its citizens, promising a fresh perspective for the province.
