2019 Nanaimo provincial byelection candidate profiles

Jan 28, 2019 | 2:49 PM

NanaimoNewsNOW posed the same three questions to all candidates in the 2019 provincial byelection for the Nanaimo riding to gain insight into their views on important local issues.

Each candidate name below links to their page with bio information and answers. If a candidate’s name isn’t linked, it means they haven’t yet submitted information and answers.

General election day is Jan. 30 and NanaimoNewsNOW will have reporters in the field to provide live reaction once polls close and the result is known.

Check here for more coverage of the byelection, including an archived video of the all-candidates debate.
