5 candidates so far are running in the Ward 3 byelection this spring and a few more are thinking about it.
Allen Leslie moved to Saint John 15 years ago and tells us drinking water, transit and jobs are big issues.
He tells CHSJ News we are losing our affordable housing adding the City has apartments renting around $600 and you would walk in and walk right back out.
He says the landlord realized he wasn't going to rent them that way so he renovated but Leslie tells us he went too far making the units unaffordable with rents exceeding $1200 or higher.
Leslie thinks the City should fix our drinking water but only through a method that is affordable.
