At least four candidates will be vying for the vacant seat on Common Council when the December 13th byelection is held for voters in ward 3.
The byelection was called after Carl Killen was elected as the M-L-A for Saint John Harbour.
The latest candidate to announce is Mel Norton. He graduated from Saint John High in 1992 getting a Bachelor of Arts degree with a major in political science at U-N-B Saint John before earning a law degree from U-N-B in Fredericton in 1999.
He also serves as a Reserve Legal Officer with the Canadian Forces and describes himself as an advocate for more affordable housing in the city.
