NDP Nomination

Betty Selin - Vernon 105.7 SUN FM:

The Vernon Monashee Constituency Association has nominated their candidate for next spring's BC election. Mark Olsen won the nomination over Jeet Ghukia. Olsen ran for the candidacy in 2005 and lost to Juliette Cunningham. He's the President of CUPE local 5523 representing school district support staff. Constituency President, Bob Pettit says, "The arrogance and lack of concern for ordinary people of Tom Christensen and the Campbell government is alienating voters and I have complete confidence that Mark will take the seat and join the Carole James government that will be elected next May." Christensen beat the NDP by over 25-hundred votes in the last election.
