None in SJ that I am aware of. One of the incumbents has been approached by the NDP in the past. He has done a lot of progressive things in his neighbourhood, yet is a former SA officer. I'm not quite sure where he stands on social issues.
In Sackville: Bill Evans and Virgil Hammock
Is Virgil an incumbent? I new them both when I worked at Mount A around the turn of the century.
Virgil is an incumbent.
Bill Evans won election with the 2nd most votes for council (Virgil was defeated). Progressive Leah Levac was elected in Ward 10 in Fredericton. Donnie Snook, a councillor who considered running for the NB NDP in 2010, easily defeated a field of 6 other candidates to win election in Ward 3 in Saint John.
I see Ron Aiken was successful in his bid to return to council. How has Virgil's health been lately?
Donnie Snook is incredibly popular in his ward.
New Brunswick voters shook up the province's political landscape on Monday night, electing many new faces to council positions and turning to new mayors.
Almost every council across the province will have some new faces around the table when the next session is called to order in the next month.
There are some candidates who were elected in the first election where they could actually vote. And some fresh faces will have leadership positions in some of the province's largest municipalities.

Some info on Leah Levac.
Donnie Snook's ward encompassing much of the Saint John-Harbour provincial seat that the NB NDP held for over a decade with party leader Elizabeth Weir.
That riding is now held by Carl Killen, a Tory.
