Darryl Berger running for federal Conservative nomination in Cardigan
Darryl Berger, a property management professional who worked on Pierre Poilievre's successful 2022 leadership campaign, has announced he will seek the nomination for the Conservative Party in the eastern P.E.I. riding of Cardigan.
"P.E.I. is at a critical juncture, requiring strategic planning to address today's challenges and secure a prosperous future," Berger is quoted as saying in a news release.
"I can no longer watch as our country suffers from the federal Liberal Party's disastrous policies."
Berger, who is originally from Ontario, has 25 years experience in property management, with a focus on health, safety, and environmental compliance.
In addition to volunteering on Poilievre's leadership campaign, Berger's political experience includes serving as president of the electoral district association in North Brampton, Ont.
Two others also in the running
James Aylward, a former P.E.I. cabinet minister and former leader of the Island's Official Opposition, and Billy Cann, a former federal and provincial NDP candidate, are also seeking the federal Conservative nomination for Cardigan.
Liberal Lawrence MacAulay has represented the riding since 1988.
A federal election must be held by October 2025.
