REGINA — Regina’s mayoral race just got more competitive with a new high-profile candidate making her debut.

Sandra Masters announced on Wednesday her intention to run for mayor.

Masters also works as Manager of Credit for the Prairie provinces for Richardson Agriculture.

“As a citizen, volunteer, professional and parent, I have had the opportunity to contribute to our community in many ways. Through these experiences I have come to realize that our city has so much potential, but we need a vision and a strong voice to fully realize it,” said Masters. “For too long we have accepted the status quo as good enough. I believe we can be more and I want to be a part of that solution.”
