Rob Norris had hoped to make an announcement before Christmas on his expected campaign for Saskatoon mayor, but he’s still awaiting clarification of the rules.

The former Saskatchewan Party provincial cabinet minister said Wednesday he is preparing to launch his campaign and expects to now make a formal declaration early in 2020.

The sticking point lies in the rules surrounding campaign donations and spending, particularly how they pertain to social media platforms, he said.

Norris told The StarPhoenix in April that he was considering a mayoral campaign next year.

“Can we print a brochure and be within the regulations and within the rules?” he asked in an interview. “We want to make sure we’re following the rules.”

Norris said he asked city hall administration in September for clarification of the rules on election spending.

City council passed the bylaw governing campaign contributions and spending on Monday.
