The new President of the Provincial Conservative Party is a Saint Johnner, Jason Stephen who also serves as President of the Saint John Real Estate Board.
Stephen tells CHSJ News he wants to increase the party's membership especially among a group of people who have shied away from politics.
Stephen says his message is a simple one.........If you don't get involved, you don't have influence.
He also says the party is in pretty good shape one year after winning the election. Another part of his job is to make sure the party is ready for the next provincial election.
