Given the well-known Liberal names seeking the nomination, CHSJ News asked Shephard if she thinks she'll be facing a challenge.
She says you can't worry about who is running. She adds in the end that candidate will be running under a Brian Gallant banner of moratorium and press pause and she'll focus on that.
Shephard's supporters on hand last night at the Branch 69 Legion included fellow MLA's Blaine Higgs, Ted Flemming and Glen Savoie.
