A former Kingsville councillor has been acclaimed the federal Conservative candidate for the riding of Essex.
42-year-old Chris Lewis is also a former Kingsville firefighter and has worked for his family business since 1995.
Says Lewis, "I am looking forward to the future under the leadership of Andrew Scheer where I will bring a positive change to Essex in the 2019 election."
NDP MP Tracey Ramsey currently represents the riding.
