Ken Hughes being interviewed after decaring himself a candidate for the PC party leadership.


It's a sure bet that PC leadership candidate Ken Hughes has a few local people in his corner.

One is Millarville resident Francis Dover, who thinks Hughes can build a consensus among different parts of the party, "I feel that Ken's the only game in town right now, there's a real need to create cohesion and someone who can talk to various groups without a threat and bring groups together and he said it, trust."

She says Hughes is very politically savvy without alienating people. "He talked several times about the monetary, the fiscal responsibilities and that's very sensitive right now."

Dover is a member of the Pekisko Group, a group of ranchers who are trying to protect the watershed and grasslands along the eastern slopes.
