A familiar face is throwing her name in the hat for the Liberal nomination in the federal riding of St. John's South-Mount Pearl.

Businesswoman Siobhan Coady is taking on real estate agent Steve Saunders. Nominations for the Liberal candidate in the riding closed Monday.

Coady ran unsuccessfully against Loyola Hearn in 2004 and 2006.

Liberal party members will choose a new candidate on March 3 in St. John's.
