Warkworth man seeks nomination for Northumberland PCs

The nomination race for the provincial Northumberland Progressive Conservative Party took another twist as Rob Milligan, a 35-year old man from Warkworth announced his candidacy.
He hopes to push agriculture issues in a campaign and health care.  He is also concerned about job creation, particularly focusing on youth.
This will certainly spice things up in several ways. After David St. Charles dropped out, it began to look like a run off between Cathy Galt, wife of former MPP Doug Galt and Jan Spragge, the business consultant from Port Hope. Carl Eggiman, who lives in Quinte West, has not created a big buzz in the west end of the riding.
Spragge, who seems to be generating a lot of positive buzz in the West end of the county, will face three contenders from the east. This could water down the eastern vote, but if Milligan and Eggimann get behind Galt, she could be a potent force in a "anybody other than Spragge" movement. She will need to build up a strong constituency across the riding if she hopes to defeat such a move.
Seeing how the Conservative treated St. Charles, they are quite prepared to play politics as dirty as it needs to be in order to win.
