As noted in comments here, there's a third candidate to add to the NDP's list of contenders in Regina Coronation Park, as Fred Kress is also seeking the nomination.
Fred's name may be familiar based on his run for the federal NDP in 2008. As a late entrant in the Regina-Lumsden-Lake Centre race (replacing Moe Kovatch who stepped down as the NDP's candidate), he came in a respectable second place behind Tom Lukiwski, and in fact increased the NDP's share of the vote in a riding which was targeted by a star Lib candidate in Monica Lysack.
That previous stint as a candidate gives Fred somewhat of a leg up on his competitors in terms of general election experience - and in a federal riding adjacent to Regina Coronation Park. But Fred himself notes that all three look to be strong contenders - and if he's right in suspecting that there are more candidates yet to come, then all the better for the NDP's enthusiasm level building up to the 2011 election.
