ELMSDALE:<\/strong> Scott Ellis really didn\u2019t want to get into politics. However, after some conversations with friends and his colleagues he decided to bite the bullet and do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now, the Elmsdale native who now calls Halifax-Needham home is ready to represent those in that area as their next MLA with the PC Party of N.S. if chosen by the voters. Halifax-Needham has been predominantly NDP turf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt was something they encouraged me to do and that I\u2019d be great with it,\u201d said Ellis during a recent interview in Fall River. \u201cI just went with it and seen which party I would most align with and that ended up being with Tim Houston and the PC\u2019s.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n He said the PC Party\u2019s universal mental health care plan was the big seller for him in becoming a Tory candidate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThat was probably the biggest reason for me, but I just wanted to bring change as an individual,\u201d said Ellis. \u201cEverything I do every single day I do it because I honestly believe the world can be a better place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI have a vision what the world can be, and I work hard every single day to make sure that vision can come true.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate group=”2″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n [adrotate banner=”111″]<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ellis grew up in Elmsdale all of his life and only in the last few years did he move into Halifax-Needham due to employment. He\u2019s worked in the Halifax area for the past four years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI love the North End,\u201d he said. \u201cIt\u2019s truly diverse there. There\u2019s people form all over, all political backgrounds and small businesses. It\u2019s an enjoyable place to live.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
