Campbell Seeks Tory Nod In Saint John Harbour
Campbell tells CHSJ News one of the key issues facing the riding and the city is poverty and he's concerned about the state of the education system.
Campbell also says he realizes there have to be some changes made to the business structure of N-B Power -- but -- he's opposed to any sale of the provincial electrical grid to Hydro Quebec or anyone else.
No date has been set for the nomination meeting -- the riding is currently held by Supply and Services Minister Ed Doherty who says he will re-offer in the fall election.
