• Winnipeg mayoral candidate cites poverty as top issue, pledges better wages and educational opportunities
• Business consultant quick to enter Winnipeg mayoral race, less eager to elaborate on platform
• Brian Bowman makes low-key announcement that he'll seek 2nd term as Winnipeg's mayor

Business development consultant Jenny Motkaluk, former Winnipeg Transit driver Don Woodstock andformer Morden mayor Doug Wilson have also registered their campaigns.

Incumbent Brian Bowman says he will seek a second term but has yet to register, a move candidates must make before they raise or spend any campaign funds.
