The Liberals have nominated their candidate for the yet-to-be-announced byelection in Dieppe.
Richard Losier was officially nominated during an event in the city on Saturday afternoon.
“The people of Dieppe are used to very strong representation and I am looking forward to continuing that tradition,” Losier said in a news release.
“I will be very vocal when it comes to keeping the Higgs government accountable on what matters most to New Brunswickers: health care, education, the cost of living and affordable housing.”
Losier began his career in the health-care field as a registered nurse at the Dr. Georges-L.-Dumont University Hospital Centre in Moncton.
He then went on to serve as president of Medavie Health Services New Brunswick, chief operating officer of the Vitalité Health Network, and executive director of the Dumont Hospital.
Losier is the first official candidate for the byelection, the date of which is expected to be announced in the coming weeks.
Former interim Liberal leader Roger Melanson resigned as MLA for the riding back in October.
