MLA and former Surrey RCMP public information officer Elenore Sturko spent over $140K to win the byelection.
In Elections BC returns published Thursday, Sturko used $62,170.25 during the official campaign period leading up to the Sept. 10 byelection, in which she won the seat with 5,568 votes.
Pauline Greaves, the NDP runner-up, had 3,221 votes in the race to replace BC Liberal Stephanie Cadieux, who quit politics in April to become the first federal accessibility commissioner. The biggest cost was $34,830.59 in office rent. Sturko was nominated in May and began campaigning shortly afterward, but Premier John Horgan waited until Aug. 13 to call the byelection.
Motiontide Media was the biggest advertising supplier at $11,513.53. The Vancouver Island company handled digital advertising for the Vancouver-Quilchena constituency office of former BC Liberal leader Andrew Wilkinson.
