A social activist and an ex-professor have entered the race to try and unseat Kamloops Liberal MLA Claude Richmond in May's provincial election.
Doug Brown, an administrator for Skeetchestn Indian Band, and Sharron Gardner, an employment and assistance worker with the ministry of human resources, announced Tuesday they would be seeking the NDP nomination for the Kamloops riding.
Either Brown or Gardner will be chosen, Feb. 20, to represent the NDP.
And while the potential nominees come from different backgrounds, they both say they won't be running against Richmond, but against his party.
"I have a lot of respect for [Richmond]," said Brown, who holds a PhD in geography and has taught at the University College of the Cariboo and at Simon Fraser University.
Gardner agrees, saying the battle is not against Richmond but against the B.C. Liberals on privatization of services, women's issues and cuts to health care and education.
"I know the issues from the ground up like the impact of cuts against women," Gardner said
"It's terrible what is happening to women, like the cuts to women's centres. Those are services the community uses."
Gardner is a long-time civil servant who has become socially active and felt running for political office was the next logical step.
Brown worked for 25 years as a post-secondary educator. He also has experience as an administrator in First Nations communities.
If nominated, he admits his chances of defeating Richmond are slim.
"[Richmond] has a lot of experience, a tremendous network behind him.
"He's very well-known and probably has a lot of money behind his campaign."

Thanks Adam,

Interesting about Ms Sims decision.

Appears that perhaps Ms. James has had that Sistah S. moment that the Editor has been calling for, only quietly.

Raj Chouchan in Burnaby-Edmonds has a website here: http://www.raj2005.org/ .

He apparently won the nomination.

Raj didn't apparently win the nomination, he won the nomination. It was closer than many in the room thought it would be, but in the end Paul made it unanimous by throwing his support behind Raj.

New Westminster will be decided on January 30th between Chuck Puchmayr, New West City Councillor, and Steve McClurg, former federal candidate for New West, Coquitlam, Port Moody.
