The B.C. Conservatives are ready to do battle in Shuswap. The party elected Tom Birch as their candidate during a nomination meeting in Salmon Arm Saturday. “The unity of purpose that I see here is inspiring," said Birch, who was among three candidates seeking the nomination. “I appreciate the tireless work that Maureen Walker and
Ed Klop have done in the past months to build this riding and even
though they did not win, I know that they will continue working with me
on behalf of the party, as they wholeheartedly believe in our party’s
direction." Birch, a Salmon Arm resident since 1998, has
worked for non-profits, and in the forest industry, where he is
currently employed as a project manager for a Vancouver-based forestry
software company. John Cummins, B.C. Conservative leader, was at the nomination meeting. Current Liberal MLA George Abbott will not seek
re-election in the spring. The Liberals have not selected a candidate
while the NDP candidate is Steve Guenther.
