Kevin Klein to join crowded Winnipeg mayor’s race
Another city councillor is taking a run at the mayor’s chair in Winnipeg’s upcoming election.Klein’s entry in the race follows a Probe Research survey released Thursday that suggested one-third of Winnipeggers polled would consider voting for the councillor should he decide to run for the city’s top job.
That same survey puts Glen Murray — a former mayor of Winnipeg entering local politics again after almost two decades away — as the frontrunner by a huge margin, enjoying the support of 44 per cent of decided voters polled.“People started notifying me yesterday as soon as it came out, and to be honest it was very humbling.
The list of candidates also includes former MP Robert-Falcon Ouellette, as well as Jenny Motkaluk — the runner-up in Winnipeg’s last civic election — and former provincial Liberal leader Rana Bokhari. Shaun Loney, Don Woodstock, Rick Shone, Idris Ademuyiwa Adelakun, Desmond Thomas, Jessica Peebles and Chris Clacio will also be on the ballot in October.Former mayor Glen Murray head and shoulders above competition in Winnipeg election poll
