Tri-City residents wanting to run for a provincial seat with the BC Green Party can now apply.
The party has opened candidate nominations for all four Tri-City ridings:
• Coquitlam-Burke Mountain (held by NDP MLA Jodie Wickens);
• Coquitlam-Maillardville (NDP MLA Selina Robinson);
• Port Coquitlam (NDP MLA Mike Farnworth);
• and Port Moody-Coquitlam (BC Liberal MLA Linda Reimer).
BC Green Party members in good standing can request an application package by emailing [email protected].
Currently, the party led by Oak Bay-Gordon Head MLA Andrew Weaver has 16 declared candidates across the province including DOA frontman — and past Green candidate for Coquitlam-Burke Mountain — Joe Keithley, who is challenging Burnaby-Lougheed.
The next provincial election is May 9, 2017.
