Candidate for Nanaimo-Lantzville
Elected — unofficial result
In their own words
This candidate hasn’t listed a campaign website or social account with the Town. That says nothing about them as a candidate — it just means less of their material is published online for us to summarise.
Where they stand

“That's where we need to be looking at our B.C. procurement program to make sure that B.C. businesses are put first, rather than saying, 'Let's look to the United States,' like Conservatives are saying, we should line up with Donald Trump. We need to look at creating the best British Columbia possible by ensuring we're uplifting every single business in British Columbia.”

“For people who are stuck in a cycle of homelessness while struggling with complex mental-health and health challenges, the journey to better health begins with stable housing. That's exactly what complex-care housing provides, along with the mental-health and health-care supports people need, all in one place. I know people in our community will benefit from this project and I look forward to it moving ahead.”
