The son of former Premier Mike Harris is considering a future in politics.

That’s the word from the elder Harris, who was Nipissing MPP from 1981 to 2002 and Premier from 1995 to 2002.

He talked with our Kitchener radio station 570 News last night (Tuesday).

“My son Mike Junior is thinking about running in Waterloo, so he’s talking with folks and what-not, so that’ll be kind of exciting for me too,” he says.

Mike Junior is originally from North Bay and has lived in the Kitchener area for several years now.

The riding doesn’t have a nominated PC candidate yet.
