Perth-Wellington MPP Randy Pettapiece is ready to serve his constituents for another term.
He was acclaimed Saturday as the Progressive Conservative candidate for the next provincial election, expected in June 2018.
After years of rising hydro bills, waste and mismanagement, Pettapiece believes Ontario is ready for a change.
"Our biggest priority must be getting to government," Pettapiece told supporters at the nomination meeting in Monkton.
Pettapiece paid tribute to outgoing Perth-Wellington PC Association president Warren Howard of Listowel for his almost-seven years of leadership - both as riding president and as his campaign manager in the last two elections.
Following the nomination meeting, the association installed a new executive. Matthew Rae of Harriston will serve as the association’s new president.
"To everyone who wants to see a change in government, now is the time to get involved," said Rae.
