Local Conservatives Pick Candidate for Next Federal Election

Local Conservatives have selected their candidate for the next federal election.

The Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing Conservative Riding Association says they've picked John Sagman, a professional engineer who's "worked in the mining and forestry resource sectors across Canada and has an extensive background working in partnership with Aboriginal communities", including "striving for ecological excellence in completing cold weather projects".

Sagman's only the second candidate nominated for the local riding, after New Democrat incumbent Carol Hughes was selected to run for her fifth term, back in February.
