PRINCE GEORGE – The race in the Prince George-Peace River- Northern Rockies riding has another candidate.

Based out of Dawson Creek, Cory ‘Grizz’ Longley made it official over social media on Tuesday night.

‘Grizz’ is a self-dubbed Dad, Plumber, and Progressive Union Activist.

He says after more than 50 years of being a Conservative riding, it’s time for a change.

“You have got to wonder for yourself, are you getting bang for your buck? Even the last eight years, $1.6 million in taxpayer salary, what do you have to show for it?” Said Longley.
