Claudia Chender (born July 29, 1976)[1] is a Canadian politician, and leader of the Nova Scotia New Democratic Party since June 25, 2022. She was first elected to the Nova Scotia House of Assembly in the 2017 general election, and re-elected in the 2021 general election. She represents the electoral district of Dartmouth South.[2]

Leader of the NSNDP

After the 2021 Nova Scotia general election, then-party leader Gary Burrill appointed Chender as the House Leader for the NSNDP caucus.[3] She returned to her role as the spokesperson for Justice and Status of Women as well as the critic for Economic Development and Natural Resources and Renewables.[3]

On November 9, 2021, Burrill announced that he would resign as leader once a successor was chosen at a future convention.[4] On February 14, 2022, Chender declared her candidacy to replace Burrill as leader of the Nova Scotia New Democratic Party (NSNDP).[5] On May 21, 2022 registration closed for the leadership race, with Chender being the sole candidate.[6]

Chender was elected leader of the Nova Scotia NDP after a general membership vote on June 25, 2022.[7][8] She is the third female leader of the NSNDP, with the previous female leaders being Alexa McDonough and Helen MacDonald; fourth leader, if interim leader Maureen MacDonald is included.[9] Aside from her responsibilities as leader of the third party, Chender also serves as the NDP caucus spokesperson for Intergovernmental Relations (as of September 22, 2024).

Early life and education

Chender is a lawyer by training and has worked in the not for profit and private sectors. Three of Chender's grandparents were Holocaust survivors and she was taught about the Holocaust by her Polish-Jewish grandmother. Many of her relatives died in the Holocaust, including some at Auschwitz.[10][11] She graduated from Dalhousie University in 1999 with a Bachelor of Arts and then from the University of Victoria in 2004 with a Bachelor of Laws. She lives in Dartmouth South with her husband and three children.
