Elizabeth May to run in BC

Leader, Elizabeth May, announced that she will seek the Green Party nomination in the B.C. riding of Saanich Gulf Islands. With polls showing 24% Green support in B.C., we have our best chance ever to send Elizabeth May to the House of Commons (and 40% of Canadians agree that she deserves a seat).

Andrew Lewis, who served as Green Party Deputy Leader from 2005 to 2006 and has always been one of our most successful candidates, was the Green Party candidate in the last three elections and is not running again. "I fully support Elizabeth's decision to run for the nomination in Saanich Gulf Islands and am looking forward to supporting her in the next election," said Andrew from his home on Salt Spring Island.

Members of the local electoral district association (EDA) are thrilled to have Elizabeth as a nomination contestant. Dave Burrows, CEO of the EDA, said, "I'm excited that we have the leader as a nominee in the riding and we are looking forward to a democratic nomination meeting on September 19."
