Jobs, the economy and agriculture…the issues that the Liberal candidate is hearing from the residents in the Nickel Belt riding.

Marc Serre has experience at the municipal level but is taking his first crack at federal politics.

Serre says the riding needs a better voice in Ottawa.

The Serre name is a familiar one in federal politics as Marc Serre’s father and uncle have both been M-P’s for Nickel Belt and West Nippising.

Serre is running against Incumbent M-P Claude Gravelle of the N-D-P, Stuart McCall is carrying the banner for the Green Party while the Conservatives have not yet nominated a candidate.
