A fourth member of Winnipeg's outgoing city council has endorsed Jenny Motkaluk'smayoral campaign.

WaverleyWest councillor-electJanice Lukessaid Tuesday she is backing Motkaluk's effort to unseat incumbent Brian Bowman.

Lukes said in an interview while she does not endorse all of Motkaluk's policies, she believes the business consultant would be easier to work with than Bowman.

Lukes who was elected in 2014 in theSouth Winnipeg-St. Norbert ward and is running unopposed this year in the new WaverleyWest ward has been at odds with Bowman since 2017, whenthe incumbent mayor kicked the councillor off executive policy committee.

All four were members of council's six-member unofficial opposition during the latter part of the most recent council term.
