Vancouver hopeful second candidate now seeking B.C. Liberal leadership
BY , Mar 31, 2021 8:35 PM - REPORT AN ERRORA daycare operator and entrepreneur is the second person to join the race for the leadership of British Columbia's Liberal party.
Vancouver resident Gavin Dew says he will "invite and inspire" younger and diverse voters in a bid to renew and modernize the party.
He is seeking the job alongside Ellis Ross, a former Haisla Nation chief councillor and elected member for Skeena.
A statement announcing Dew's candidacy says the father of two will focus his campaign on supporting and empowering people and families to ensure a better life for future B.C. generations.
Dew is described as a "longtime B.C. Liberal member" and his political background includes an unsuccessful run for the party in the 2016 byelection in Vancouver-Mount Pleasant.
The vote to replace former leader Andrew Wilkinson is scheduled for Feb. 5, 2022, after he resigned following his party's loss to the New Democrats in last year's provincial election.
