As residents in provincial riding of Coquitlam-Burke Mountain head to the polls in Tuesday's byelection, we asked the four candidates one last question: Why would I vote for you?

"This is the greatest chance to get some choice in our health care and our education. It's time to think beyond government monopolies. We want to change the incentives so that your hard-working teachers, your hard-working doctors want to do what's best for you instead of fill the quota for their bureaucratic orders."

"I will be at the decision-making table, working hard within government. I will deliver new transit, welcome a sharing economy, including ride-sharing. And I will celebrate the opening of Smiling Creek elementary. I will fight for, and deliver for, our families right here in the community that I have lived in for over 30 years."

"I'll give Coquitlam the most honest representation they've ever had and I'll be the hardest-working MLA they've ever had. I'll fight for transportation improvements and schools in Coquitlam. Green Party MLAs are not whipped. We can stand up for our constituents and not follow the party line."

"You want to vote for me because Christy Clark and the BC Liberals have ignored our community for far too long. I'm a parent and a community advocate, and I will fight for what is right for our community."
