Karin Kirkpatrick, a BC United MLA, has reversed her decision not to seek re-election and will run as an Independent in West Vancouver-Capilano. She criticized BC United Leader Kevin Falcon's decision to suspend the party's campaign and support the B.C. Conservatives.
WEST VANCOUVER, B.C. — An incumbent BC United legislative member has reversed her decision not to seek re-election and has announced she'll run as an Independent in the riding of West Vancouver-Capilano in the upcoming provincial election.
Kirkpatrick announced her retirement this year, but now says in a statement that her decision to re-enter the race comes as a direct result of Falcon's actions, which would force middle-of-the-road voters to"swing to the left" in lieu of a centrist party.
