A Saint John councillor announced he’ll be seeking a promotion this spring.
Coun. Barry Ogden announced on Facebook Thursday night that he’ll run for mayor of Saint John in the municipal elections in May.
“I love Saint John and have always loved trying to make things better for everyone,” Ogden said in the post.
Ogden was first elected to Saint John Common Council in the May 2021 elections.
He currently represents Ward 2, which includes Millidgeville and the city’s north end.
New Brunswick will hold municipal elections May 11.
Incumbent Saint John Mayor Donna Noade Reardon told Acadia News earlier this month that she had not yet made a decision on whether she’ll run again. She has served in the role since 2021.
