The fifth general election candidate to declare in Peel says he has done so because he isn't particularly happy with those who have come forward so far.

The other candidates who have declared in Peel so far are outgoing MHK Tim Crookall, commissioners Rodger Gimbert and Ray Harmer, and Leslie Hanson.
