Wallaceburg’s Tom McGregor didn’t have to hit the campaign trial this election.
The lawyer, former Wallaceburg Councillor, and Chatham-Kent mayoral candidate, was acclaimed today as a school board trustee for the Lambton-Kent District School Board representing North Kent, South Lambton and Wallaceburg.
McGregor takes the place of his wife Carmen, who is running for one of two council positions in Wallaceburg.
D. Randy Campbell and Scott McKinlay were also acclaimed as LKDSB trustees in East, South and West Kent.
Four people are vying for the two other spots in Ward 6 – Chatham: Ruth Ann Dodman, Dave Macko, Shannon Sasseville and Bruce Steen.
Both Sasseville and Steen filed today, the last day for nominations.
Election day is Oct. 27.
