Two Jewish members of the Manitoba legislature won re-election last month. Marty Dolin of the majority New Democratic Party was returned by the voters in Kildonan, a heavily Jewish-populated suburb of Winnipeg. Abe Kovnats of the opposition Progressive Conservative Party was the choice of voters in Niakwa which has very few Jews. A third Jewish member, Brian Cornin, did not run for re-election.
