Dr. Ed Doherty To Give Provincial Politics Another Shot

Dr. Ed Doherty, who served as a cabinet minister in the previous Liberal government under then Premier Shawn Graham, will be going after the party's nomination in Saint John Harbour. 

Dr. Doherty tells CHSJ News a lot of people in the riding are having a tough go of it these days and he hears from people in the riding they're disappointed with the Alward Government.

He thinks Conservative M-L-A Carl Killen is vulnerable in the next provincial election.

Former Mayor Ivan Court earlier said he would be seeking the Liberal nomination in the riding of Saint John Lancaster, now held by Conservative Dorothy Shepherd. 

Realtor Don Ketchum will also be the Liberal nomination in that riding and there has been speculation former Common Councillor Peter McGuire is, at least, considering a run.
