Challengers look to unseat former mayor in Bay of Quinte
Liberals, Conservatives earned 85% of vote in new riding in 2015
The region's southernmost riding features a former Belleville hockey broadcaster among the field of candidates vying to unseat Belleville's former mayor.
Liberal Neil Ellis won the redrawn seat in 2015 by 9,500 votes over the Conservative challenger.
Together, the Liberals and Conservatives earned 85 per cent of the vote in the district, which includes Belleville and Prince Edward County.
This time, Ellis is up against Stephanie Bell of the NDP; Paul Bordonaro of the People's Party; tech worker Danny Celovsky of the Greens; and Conservative candidate Tim Durkin, a sports broadcaster who's covered the Belleville Bulls and Senators.
Candidates are included in this riding profile once they've been listed as a confirmed candidate by Elections Canada, chosen as the winner of a nomination contest or who were the chosen candidate by a party that got at least one per cent of the national popular vote in 2015.
