With the federal election writ now dropped, the naming of candidates for the newly named Riding Mountain federal constituency is expected to take place soon.
Conservative MP Dan Mazier will be seeking re-election, as he looks to hold on to a riding that he has represented since 2019.
His lone competitor so far is Donnan McKenna, a former superintendent with the RCMP who is representing the People's Party of Canada.
Two other former Parkland residents are also running in other constituencies in Manitoba.
Janice Morley-Lecomte, who grew up in Cayer, is the Conservative Party candidate in Winnipeg South, where she will go against Liberal cabinet minister Terry Duguid.
And Byron Gryba, who grew up in the Gilbert Plains area, is the PPC Candidate in Selkirk-Interlake-Eastman.
The federal election is set for April 28th.
