Former BC Liberal premiers endorse opposing election candidates in Kelowna
Global News
Both former premiers stated they weren't surprised by each other's opposing endorsements.
Stephen Fuhr’s campaign office filled with supporters Wednesday afternoon as a former B.C. premier officially endorsed the Liberal candidate running in the Kelowna riding.
“When Stephen was your member of parliament he delivered a lot,” former Liberal premier Christy Clark told an enthusiastic group of supporters.
Clark, who served as premier between 2011 and 2017, said she believes Fuhr is the best person for the job to represent Kelowna’s interests in Ottawa.
“I worked with him in the past when I represented West Kelowna,” Clark said. “He delivered $25 million for West Kelowna’s water treatment. When you think about the region, he has delivered $185 million for the region here.”
Fuhr is trying to make a political comeback in what’s considered a swing riding after his breakthrough win in 2015 in what has traditionally been a Conservative stronghold.
The Conservatives took back the seat with Tracy Gray’s win in 2019.
“This is the most pivotal, probably the most consequential election in my lifetime,” Clark said.
But Clark isn’t the only former premier to announce an endorsement.
