It's Official Chico to Run Blue

Sealed with a kiss from wife Peggy, Peter Chirico announced his intention to seek the Conservative Party of Canada nomination for the riding of Nipissing –Timiskaming.

In front of North Bay City Hall this morning, the Deputy Mayor of North Bay said that citizens are tired and they have had enough.

“The present government has lost the moral authority to govern this country, they’ve lost that privilege I believe.”

“And that is why I am stepping forward today to put my name in the ring for the nomination of the Conservative Party of Canada.”

Chirico said his decision to seek the nomination is a big step for him and is met with apprehension, because if he is successful at the bid he will have to step relinquish his duties as councillor and Deputy Mayor on council.

“I do it with a lot of mixed emotions especially with what we have done here in the city, as budget chief I’ve told you what I was going to do and I’ve done it. And I’m very proud to say we are on sound financial footing in this city and I hope to bring that with the job that I am running for as MP for the riding of Nipissing-Temiskaming.
