By tonight, we will know which candidate will carry the Conservative banner into the fall vote in the riding of Saint John Harbour. The four candidates are CEO Christie Belyea, entrepreneur John Campbell, Human Rights Officer and former Common Councillor Carl White, and high-school teacher and City Councilor Carl Killen who also teaches at St. Malachy's.
Tonight's nomination convention at the Fort Howe Hotel starts at 7. Liberal MLA Ed Doherty has held the riding since 2005.
The Liberals in Saint John Portland will be choosing their candidate as well. The Premier will be back in town for that. Danny Joyce, who ran the Ultramar station in the north end for years before retiring, announced sometime ago he would be seeking the nomination to take on longtime M-L-A and former provincial cabinet minister Trevor Holder.
