After the passing of Michael Baker, there have been many questions about who will be looking to step in and run for the Conservatives in Lunenburg.  Elmer Garber has been one name mentioned as a possible candidate.  And CKBW News was one of many to ask him about it.  He says he has no interest in running for the position of M-L-A for the Lunenburg Constituency. Garber was a member of Lunenburg Municipal council and deputy warden up until he placed second in the mayoralty race last October.  He says he has no ambition to sit in the Legislature saying his passion in with local politics and local issues.  And Garber adds he doesn't neccesarily have to be elected to serve the community.  He recently took on a position of Special Assistant to the Minister in Lunenburg West M-L-A Carolyn Bollivar-Getson's office.
