In Episode 12 of Ellected, host Sarah Elder-Chamanara talks to Sarah Kalnay-Watson about being on the front lines of politics in her role as a constituency assistant to two Northwest Territories MLAs. Sarah and Sarah (it’s a double Sarah episode) discuss the overlooked but crucial nature of constituency work, balancing working for two MLAs, the differences when your MLA is also in cabinet, and more.

Sarah Kalnay-Watson serves as the constituency assistant to Caroline Wawzonek, the MLA for Yellowknife South, the Minister of Finance, Minister of Industry, Tourism and Investment and Minister Responsible for the Status of Women, and Rylund Johnson, MLA for Yellowknife North.
