Q44: Who will be the Conservative candidate for the next election in the federal riding of Nepean?
Lisa MacLeod: 50%
Steve Desroches: 10%
Jan Harder: 5%
Someone Else: 35%
John Baird was planning on running in the newly created federal riding of Nepean. With his resignation, the race for Conservative candidate for that riding becomes open. Lisa MacLeod, the MPP for the (larger) Nepean-Carleton provincial riding, has expressed some interest, and has dropped out of the provincial PC leadership (perhaps to run federally). She seems to be the clear front-runner. Steve Desroches and Jan Harder may also be candidates, according to this article, but neither has clearly expressed interest, and Harder is apparently encouraging MacLeod to run. "Someone else" is often a good option in these sort of cases.
