Perth-Wellington NDP find candidate for upcoming federal election

While nothing is official until the writ is dropped, another party has found their candidate for the upcoming federal election.

Officials with the Perth-Wellington NDP says Geoff Krauter, a long-time NDP member and community activist, will be nominated as the New Democratic Party candidate for the area at a nomination meeting in Stratford next Tuesday.

The meeting is taking place at the Griffith Auditorium on West Gore Street starting at 7 o’clock that night.

He joins a race that will include candidates Dr. Collan Simmons for the Green Party and Ken Metzger for the People’s Party of Canada.

Perth-Wellington Conservative MP John Nater has also confirmed that he will be seeking reelection in the riding.

The federal election is set for late October.
