The Ford government today announced by-election dates for Lambton-Kent-Middlesex and Milton electoral districts.
In L-K-M, the riding has been without an MPP since Monte McNaughton announced last September he was stepping away from politics to take a job in the private sector.
Rumours swirled since early January as to when the by-election would be called. The writ dropped April 3 and voting day will be May 2.
Five parties have announced candidates. Steve Pinsonneault will run for the Progressive Conservatives, Kathryn Shailer is the NDP candidate, Cathy Burghardt-Jesson will run for the Liberals, Keith Benn represents the New Blue Party, and Andraena Tilgner will be on the ballot for the Green Party.
