McNaughton Faces Five Challengers In Lambton-Kent-Middlesex

There will be six names on the ballot in Lambton-Kent-Middlesex riding in Ontario's 42nd General Election June 7.

The deadline for candidate registration passed at 2pm Thursday.

Incumbent Monte McNaughton of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario is seeking a third term as a member of provincial parliament.

First elected in 2011, McNaughton is on the ballot with longtime Warwick Township mayor and former Lambton County Warden Todd Case, who is running for the Ontario New Democratic Party.

Wallaceburg native Brian Everaert of the Trillium Party of Ontario is a 20-year member of The International Association of Bridge Structural and Ornamental Ironworkers.

A machinist by trade, Brad Greulich, 29, is carrying the banner for the Ontario Libertarian Party, while Anthony Li, a Western University student who grew up in Ottawa, is the candidate for the Green Party of Ontario.

The President of the Lambton-Kent-Middlesex Liberal Association Mike Radan was nominated Tuesday as the standard-bearer for the Ontario Liberal Party.  The longtime volunteer and small business owner also ran in 2014, finishing a distant third behind McNaughton, and nearly 3,000 votes short of Joe Hill of the NDP in second place.

The Lambton-Kent-Middlesex Riding has a population of 105,335 and includes the municipalities of Brooke-Alvinston, Lambton Shores, North Middlesex, and Southwest Middlesex, the townships of Adelaide-Metcalfe, Dawn-Euphemia, Lucan Biddulph, Middlesex Centre, Strathroy-Caradoc, and Warwick, Chatham-Kent, and the Village of Newbury.
