Andrew Black was just elected for a second term on Sackville town council when the province decided to amalgamate surrounding areas and create a new town of Tantramar.

After serving the past year as deputy mayor and taking an active role in the Union of New Brunswick Municipalities (Black was elected president of the organization last month), he decided to run for mayor of the amalgamated municipality.

Black says the coming year in municipal government will be a tough one, dealing with unknowns and a new council composition.

CHMA’s David Gordon Koch has interviewed all three mayoral candidates for Tantramar ahead of the municipal elections scheduled for Nov. 28. Listen to his interview with Andrew Black here:
