Elena Lawson was announced Wednesday as the BC United candidate in the Langford-Juan de Fuca byelection to fill the seat held by former premier John Horgan.
Lawson, whose eight-year-old son was diagnosed with autism in 2018, took on the province in 2021 over its new service delivery plan for autism services.Falcon said that was thanks to Lawson, “and that’s exactly the kind of person that we want in the riding of Langford-Juan de Fuca.” Sooke School District board chairman Ravi Parmar is expected to be acclaimed on Saturday as the BC NDP candidate for the riding, while Camille Currie will run for the Green Party.
