She is the daughter of Oscar Lathlin, who represented The Pas in the provincial legislature from 1990 to 2008,[1] and is the first First Nations woman ever elected to the provincial legislature.[2] In the 2019 election, after The Pas riding was redistributed, she won the newly created riding of The Pas-Kameesak.
