Kenora MP Bob Nault has confirmed his intention to seek re-election in the upcoming federal election.
Nault was elected in 2015 in a highly contested battle with Conservative Minister Greg Rickford and former Ontario NDP Leader Howard Hampton.
He says “As a Northerner first, and as the federal representative for the Kenora Riding for 20-years, I am honoured and pleased to announce that I am running to be the Liberal candidate in the 2019 election.
Nault stresses he’s running again because Northerners can’t afford another federal Conservative government, noting leader Andrew Scheer is a carbon copy of Stephen Harper and sounds just like Doug Ford.
He warns of our region falling further behind with fewer investments for essential programs.
Nault says he’s focused on new infrastructure, attracting new industry and creating more jobs.
The Conservatives in the Riding have already selected Eric Melillo of Kenora as their candidate.
