“I’m kinda down to earth and I deal with the public all the time so I hear a lot of grass roots issues and I think that’s exactly what this province needs, people that are grass roots and able to get into office and help out normal people,” he said.

If elected, the Saskatchewan United Party plans to introduce major tax cuts, including cutting the PST in half on all purchases and eliminating the fuel tax.

Carpenter also noted he is passionate about supporting teachers and nurses.
