Of” former or current BC Liberal MLA’s who have sought nomination for a federal
party
The latest add to my list was sent to me this
morning (Jan 22nd)
• Norm Letnick, who ran for the CPC nomination in Kelowna-Lake Country in 2005 or 2006, but lost to Ron Cannan. Norm then sought the BC Liberal nomination and won. He’s still sitting as MLA
• Norm Letnick, who ran for the CPC nomination in Kelowna-Lake Country in 2005 or 2006, but lost to Ron Cannan. Norm then sought the BC Liberal nomination and won. He’s still sitting as MLA
I’m up to 11 now, and I know there still must
be many more that can be added to this list – with your help of course. And

MLA’s who have sought nominations for a federal
party, and which federal party did they seek nomination for?
