The Kamloops-Thompson-Cariboo Green Party officially have their candidate for the 2019 fall election.
Iain Currie, a former Crown Counsel and now a practicing civil lawyer, will be acclaimed as the federal party candidate on June 26th.
“Several people had initially contacted me to express interest in running and ask about the process for seeking the nomination, but in the end, only Iain completed the entire application," said two-time federal party candidate, Matthew Greenwood. “At least one potential candidate bowed out after he found out who he would be competing against. We’re extremely proud to have someone of Iain’s stature in the community running under our banner.”
Currie explained he was excited about the opportunity but knows the work starts now.
“While I had definitely been looking forward to the energy and excitement of a full nomination contest, the faster acclamation process will let my campaign hit the ground running that much sooner,” said Currie. “I will definitely not be running a doom-and-gloom campaign, but rather one that will remind people what it’s like to be able to vote FOR something again.”
