Another political race in which the dynamics just changed is in the Collet division. PUP newcomer Micah Goodin was made to step aside for former city councilor Yasmin Shoman - in her first run as a general election candidate. She hopes to unseat Faber who is a three term incumbent - one that beat his last opponent by over 1500 votes. That makes him also the prohibitive favourite heading into any head to head political contest in Collet - which is probably why Faber was charitable with Goodin, and dismissive of Shoman:..
Hon. Patrick Faber, Minister of Education "I said I would never would have said anything unkind about Micah, in fact he is somebody who I observed and I looked at as an up and coming potential star in whatever he does. As to the new opponent, I won't be so kind in that she is no new comer to politics. She of course was a city councilor for 6 years in this country, in the city. Many people still are asking who she is, so that's to tell you that she is not really of a threat at all. I don't figure that the people of Collet will remove me for the likes of her. I understand she has to be out there. She has a convention, we are looking to see that crowd that will come out on the 22nd - lack of a crowd I should say and when the gun is sounded I'll be ready and I am pretty confident that we'll have very at all worry in the Collet constituency to deliver."
