Andrea
Anderson-Mason, MLA for Fundy-the Isles-Saint John West, recently sat
down for an interview at CHCO Television where she reflected on her time
in office and expressed her gratitude for the opportunity to serve her
constituents.
During the interview, Anderson-Mason spoke passionately about her
love for her job, stating, "I've loved this job, and I still love this
job." She also mentioned being inspired by the greats who came before
her, specifically Greg Thompson. "My hope is that if they were here
today, that they would say that I've done them proud," she added.
Known for her assertive approach, the MLA acknowledged that she can
sometimes come across as aggressive but explained that she is driven by
her belief that her riding is the greatest place in New Brunswick. "My
only hope was ever to serve the constituents of the riding," she said.
Anderson-Mason also unveiled that she is excited to be the first
guest on a new live talk show launching on CHCO Television where viewers
can call in and ask questions live on TV. "I've always been an open
book, so feel free, ask what questions you want and I'll do my best to
answer them."
The show, tentatively called By-the-Sea LIVE, will be an hour-long
one-on-one talk show hosted by CHCO News Director Vicki Hogarth. On the
premiere episode of the show, Anderson-Mason will answer questions from
both Hogarth and viewers. She is open to answering questions about the
future of her political career. Anderson-Mason has often made headlines
for not toeing the party, recently voting against her PC party to vote
with the Liberals for a review of controversial changes to Policy 713, a
gender and identity policy in New Brunswick schools.
By-the-Sea LIVE will premiere on CHCO Television in August 2023.
