John Hogan
John Hogan is the newly appointed leader of the provincial Liberals and the premier of Newfoundland and Labrador, having previously served as the health minister. He secured his leadership by winning 77.4 percent of the points in a party vote at the convention in St. John's, succeeding Andrew Furey. Hogan's agenda focuses on addressing health care issues, affordability, and negotiating a significant energy deal with Quebec that is projected to generate $225 billion over the next 50 years, while also managing a substantial provincial debt.
