Cameron Scott is seeking the Saskatchewan Party’s nomination for the newly vacant Saskatoon Fairview MLA seat.

The nomination comes after Jennifer Campeau stepped down to take a job with Rio Tinto in B.C.

Scott is currently elected to the Saskatoon Public School board as a trustee for Ward 4.

His announcement comes shortly after Vicki Mowat announced she is seeking nomination to be the NDP candidate.

A byelection must be held within six months to fill the vacant seat.
