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.
