Candidates hitting campaign trail for Feb. 27 election
By Mark Ribble With the recently called provincial election on the horizon, candidates are busy getting their message out to voters across the region. Ontario Premier Doug Ford announced the election on January 28 after days of speculation that
he would do just that. With the February 13 deadline to declare their candidacy fast approaching, the following candidates have registered and are running for the Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) seat in Chatham-Kent Leamington: Trevor Jones is the in-
cumbent MPP and is running for the PC Party of Ontario. Rhonda Jubenville is running as the New Blue Ontario candidate and Christian Sachs is the candidate for the NDP. So far, no other candidates have registered to run in Chatham-Kent
Leamington as of presstime. In the riding of Essex, it’s a seven-candidate race so far, with Stephen Higgins running for the Green Party of Canada, Travis Jacques for the Ontario Party, incumbent Anthony Leardi for the PC Party of Ontario,
Kevin Linfield for the None of the Above Party, Rachael Mills for the Ontario NDP Party, Tamara Stomp for the Liberals and William Szabo Verzoc running as an independent. Voters go to the polls on Thursday, February 27.
