Another candidate has joined the race for the Manitoba Progressive Conservative leadership.

The leadership contest has become a two-woman race, as former MP Shelly Glover says she'll run against Heather Stefanson to succeed Brian Pallister as leader of the party and Premier.

The former Winnipeg police officer said leadership contests are supposed to be a time for parties to attract new members and create excitement and renewal as they prepare for the next election.

Priorities for Glover include creating a provincial seniors advocate and scrapping the government's widely criticized education reform bill. 

Glover and Stefanson are the only two people running for leadership of the party.

More than two dozen members of the PC caucus have already declared their support for Stefanson, giving her an early advantage in the competition.
