Tracey Ramsey will seek to reclaim her seat on Parliament Hill in the 2023 Federal Election.
Ramsey accepted the NDP nomination to run in Essex at a virtual meeting Thursday night.
She had previously served as MP for one term, but was defeated in the 2019 Federal Election by Conservative Chris Lewis.
In a statement, Ramsey says she won't be able to run "the kind of hands-on, in-person campaign" she's used to during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Ramsey says she will fight to get profit out of long-term care, pass universal pharmacare, address climate change and crack down on hate.
