Emo township councillor Anthony Leek who's also president of the riding association, was unopposed in his bid for the candidacy.
He feels the riding needs a member who can works with others in finding solutions than just pointing fingers.
Leek also ran for the Liberals in 2011, finishing a distant third.
He says the party is in a better position to take the riding having built up its membership and finances and strengthen its executive board with representation across the riding since.
