The B.C. Liberals are hoping to hold on the Vancouver-Quilchena riding vacated by the former party leader, forging a path to Victoria for new leader Kevin Falcon.
Falcon’s campaign focused mostly on holding the NDP government to account. Many observers think he is the MLA-apparent for the riding.
Hamish Telford, an associate professor in political science at the University of the Fraser Valley pointed out the NDP is running a high-profile candidate in Jeanette Ashe. She is a professor at Douglas College, and is married to Vancouver Mayor Kennedy Stewart.
“They don't generally recruit high-profile candidates for this riding because it's a foregone conclusion that the Liberals are going to win it. But it is one of these urban ridings which I think is trending towards a more progressive position,” he told CTV News.
Ashe’s campaign targeted Falcon’s record as a former Liberal cabinet minister under premiers Gordon Campbell and Christy Clark.
The Greens are running Wendy Hayko, an emergency management professional with more than two decades of experience.
Other candidates include the Conservatives’ Dallas Brody who is a lawyer and businessperson Sandra Filosof-Schipper is running for the Libertarian party.
