As local Tories gather for this evening’s nomination meeting in Saint John East — there are some rumblings of discontent within party circles in Saint John Harbour.
The Tories have not held the riding in over 30-years — community activist John Campbell and councilor Carl Killen have announced they are seeking the nomination while former councilor Carl White is rumoured to be interested as well.
But — sources tell CHSJ News there’s a lack of organization — the riding’s annual general meeting has been cancelled — there is no executive in place — and — potential candidates have been invited to a private meeting next week to discuss the selection process — we have placed a call to party headquarters in Fredericton.
Meantime — the Liberals have already nominated Supply and Services Minister Ed Doherty to again carry the party banner in the September 27th election.
