The B.C. United party has selected Elena Lawson, a cofounder of the Children's Autism Federation of B.C., to be the party's candidate in the upcoming Langford-Juan de Fuca byelection.
"Elena’s experience in business and government, as well as her deep roots in the community, make her the ideal candidate to represent the people of Langford-Juan de Fuca," said Falcon.
Lawson, a self-described "working mom and concerned citizen," told supporters she has "never been a political person," but felt compelled to join the party due to her dissatisfaction with the current NDP government.The byelection process was triggered when former premier and Langford-Juan de Fuca MLA John Horgan retired at the end of March.
