The party’s National Campaign Co-Chair announced the candidacy of Terry Hayward, a long-time resident of Eastern Manitoba who recently ran in the Manitoba election, vying for the Lac du Bonnet seat.
Hayward has a background in agriculture and the foreign service. He has run both federally and provincially four times for the Liberals, always in Eastern Manitoba.
As of this writing, the candidates in Brandon-Souris are:

Ashley Duguay – New Democratic Party

Meanwhile, the riding of Dauphin - Swan River - Neepawa still does not have a Liberal nominee.
