It would have made slightly more sense for him to run in a city district that falls under the St. John's South - Mount Pearl federal riding; those people know him and what (if anything) he's done for the district.
In the end, there's no sense in trying to think about the logic behind this move like statbass said.

He noted in his speech that he had lived in the district of Windsor Lake for years. As well, he lost twice in St. John's South Mount Pearl. I don't know which district he could have run in - and had a good shot in - that falls under that riding.
