The race is on to elect a new Progressive Conservative (PC) candidate in the riding of Midland in time for Fall 2023 provincal election.
Blaine Pedersen has long held the spot, but will not be seeking re-election once his term is up.
A nomination meeting has been scheduled for October 29th in Brunkild, and notices have been sent out to registered PC members.
There are three candidates members will be able to vote for. There are Doug Dobrowolski, Lauren Stone, and Shannon Martin.
Gordon Simpson is President of the Midland PC Riding Association.
"I think that the ones that are now in the race, they've all been out there working hard, the three of them. Doug Dobrowolski, Lauren Stone, and Shannon Martin have all been attending fairs in the Midland Constituency and any other events where they can get their name out there, and press the flesh, as it were."
Simpson said the doors to the meeting at the Brunkild Community hall will open around 9 a.m. on October 29th. There, all three candidates will have an opportunity to deliver a speech and present their cases. However, voting can take place any time during the meeting starting in the morning, but must be complete by 5 p.m.
