Colleen Tatum running in byelection

A former Ward 1 representative is making her bid to sit in council chambers again. Mother and business owner Colleen Tatum announced she’s running in the upcoming byelection.

“I’m very excited to put my name forward to stand as a candidate in this by-election as a strong voice for families and local businesses in this time of economic uncertainty. I believe that we are at a cross-roads as a community and we need someone who will fight for a Fort McMurray and Wood Buffalo that is livable, strong, and caters to us; the year round residents of our community,” states Tatum in a news release.

Tatum lost her seat during the 2013 municipal election. She was right behind Coun. Keith McGrath in votes.

Other candidates have until noon today to submit their nomination papers for the March 30 byelection.
