Another candidate has stepped forward seeking to replace Emerson M.L.A. Jack Penner.
31 year-old Tammy Smook of Vita is the 4th candidate and first woman to enter the race.
Smook has worked with the P.C. caucus in the past and for the last 2 years has been a homeopathic practitioner.
She says through her employment she meets a lot of people not satisfied with the health care system in Manitoba and says she has come to a point in life where it's time to advocate for these people.
Smook says the other burning issues facing Manitobans are farming, daycare, and education.
The other 3 candidates seeking the Emerson nomination are Larry Tetrault, John Stephens and Cliff Graydon.
The nomination meeting is November 21st in Altona.
