FORT ST. JOHN -- Director for the Peace River Regional District Jordan Kealy announced that he submitted his nomination to run in next year’s election for the Peace River North riding.
If he’s accepted, Kealy will run for the BC Conservative Party against the current MLA Dan Davies.
He said his decision to run was due to frustrations with the NDP and BC United leadership.
Kealy said working at the PRRD he’s, “making a difference in my current role and I love the job. I love being able to represent my constituents. But I feel like there’s big issues here, when you look at the amount of people that die from drug overdoses, like in our community and Dawson Creek, that’s huge."
Kealy said most of the issues in BC could be solved by a conservative approach.
The BC Conservatives are currently tied for 2nd place in the polls with the BC United Party.
Kealy was elected as PRRD Director in 2022.
