Freedom Party fields byelection candidate

By KEN AVEY

WELLAND - A 35-year-old maintenance electrician At Atlas Steels is the fourth entrant into the upcoming Welland- Thorold provincial byelection.

Fitzgerald, of 280 Brownleigh Ave., will represent the Freedom Party in the campaign. Fitzgerald, in an interview yesterday, said he will run on a platform that states the "purpose of government is to protect freedom of choice and not restrict it."

The Freedom Party, based in London, Ont., is a registered political organization formed four years ago.

Fitzgerald has worked at Atlas for the past six years, is married and has three children. He is a founding member of the Brownleigh Tenants' Association and a member of the Niagara Chapter of Amnesty International. He is also fluent in Italian and French.

The Freedom Party is registered in 11 provincial ridings in Ontario and its leader is Robert Metz of London.

Fitzgerald said the byelection campaign "will be the first step in establishing the party's presence in the Welland-Thorold area, where the party's grass roots approach to politics is expected to contribute to the creation of a riding organization capable of having representatives elected in the future."

Fitzgerald will face New Democrat Peter Kormos and Progressive Conservative candidate Brian O'Brine in the byelection. The local Liberals will choose a candidate to contest the riding on Sept. 22 and the Family Coaliton Party is also expected to field a candidate.
