One candidate for the Portage RM council was talked into it.

 

Terry Simpson will be running in ward three.

He says people from all over the ward were calling him, hoping he would run.

He notes having an uncontested ward is not the best scenario for residents.

He says people now have a choice on election day. Simpson believes drainage, roads, and dust are issues concerning RM residents.

He thinks his experience as a farmer will help him, if elected.
