Bart Maves will be joining St. Catharines' Matt Siscoe in the race to become a Tory MPP in Niagara.

Maves won the PC nomination for the Niagara Falls riding last night beating out fellow regional councillor Barb Greenwood and Niagara On the Lake golf club owner John Wiens.

Maves, who served two terms under Mike Harris, lost both the 2003 and 2007 provincial elections to Liberal Kim Craitor.
