School District 57 Board of Education chair Rachael Weber has secured the Conservative Party of British Columbia nomination as a candidate for MLA in the riding of Prince George-Mackenzie in the next provincial election.
"Rachael's experience in a leadership role on her community's school board has given her the tools to be a great MLA and a leader in a Conservative government," said Conservative Party of British Columbia Leader MLA John Rustad.
"We're going to be running 93 candidates who are committed to fighting for their ridings and their home communities — we're proud to have Rachael standing with us," Rustad added.
"I believe in being straightforward about tough decisions, and standing up for constituents — That's why I'm choosing to run with John Rustad and his Conservative Party of British Columbia team," said Weber.
"I'm looking forward to connecting with everyday British Columbians all across Prince George-Mackenzie, and working with the Conservative Party of British Columbia team to build momentum for our movement and stand for what's right for British Columbians," she said.
In July, when it was announced that Weber was seeking the nomination as BC Conservative candidate, she said she would remain in her position as chairperson but would make necessary adjustments if and when needed.
“The School Board is not the only responsibilities that I hold,” Weber said. “My commitment and dedication to the School District and the communities are steadfast and will remain this way until the need to change.”
B.C.’s next provincial election is scheduled for Saturday, October 19, 2024.
