Candidate profile: Independent Roger Fuhr

Roger Fuhr is one of the six candidates for MP in Perth-Wellington.

One big thing separates Fuhr from the other candidates: he’s running as an independent.

Fuhr says he was motivated to run by a sense of frustration:

He believes the number one issue facing Perth-Wellington is excessive regulation that stifles growth:

Fuhr says if elected he’d be tireless in his efforts to get that red tape removed:

When asked about supply management for dairy and poultry farmers, Fuhr says he’d defend it:

The last issue that Fuhr touched on was voter turnout.  He says he wants more people at the polls:

Fuhr is running against the Christian Heritage Party’s Irma DeVries, Liberal Stephen McCotter, Conservative John Nater, the NDP’s Ethan Rabidoux, and the Green Party’s Nicole Ramsdale.

Election Day is set for October 19th.
