Labor sources have told The Border Mail the union official will be the party's contender for the seat.
Asked by The Border Mail on Wednesday if he would be the Labor candidate, Cr Cameron said "no comment".
It would not be the first time the councillor has represented the Labor Party at a government vote.
Cr Cameron stood for it in Albury in NSW elections in 1995 and 2011 when Liberals Ian Glachan and Greg Aplin won the respective polls.
