Fillmore announced last month that he would resign from his post as a MP before the House of Commons resumes sitting in the fall.

Fillmore joins Waye Mason, Pam Lovelace, Clay Thomas Bowser, Ryan Dodge, Nolan Greenough, Zoran Jokic and Blake Roache on the list of official candidates to replace outgoing Mayor Mike Savage.

Residents in HRM will elect a new Mayor and council on October 19.
