In the last election, federal Liberal incumbent candidate Raymond Chan lost his riding to Conservative challenger Alice Wong. So who's going to take on Ms. Wong when Richmond voters next go to the ballot box? Well, some think Joe Peschisolido could make a bid for the Grit nomination in that riding. But what does Mr. Peschisolido have to say about that talk?
In an interview with Public Eye, the former Canadian Alliance turned Grit parliamentarian said, "I'm happy doing what I am doing. I have a law firm I've been running for about five years. People have approached me and asked me if I'm interested in running. And I've set, 'Look, it's too early right now. We need to rebuild the party. And then we'll have a look at it down the road."
So is there a possibility he might make a bid for that nomination in the future? "Who knows, Sean," Mr. Peschisolido responded. "Right now, I think, the task at hand for all good Liberals is to rebuild the party both organizationally and policy wise."
