Former City Councillor To Run For Liberals In Saint John Lancaster

Former Common Councillor Peter McGuire winning the Liberal nomination in Saint John Lancaster on second ballot by 42 votes over Don Ketchum. Former Mayor Ivan Court dropped out after the first ballot and threw his support behind McGuire.

He says his priorities for the riding include building seniors housing, developing the empty lots on Fairville Boulevard and creating smarter, better schools. 

McGuire also announcing seniors housing will be built on the former Lou Murphy property on the Milford Road which is a project he's been working on for three years.

He will be running against Dorothy Shephard, the Minister of Healthy and Inclusive Communities whom McGuire calls "a great lady". He sees himself as the underdog going in to the campaign.
