Former Prince George mayor Shari Green is seeking the federal Conservative Party's nomination in South Surrey-White Rock for the 2019 federal election.
"2019 can't come soon enough and I will be sending a message to Mr. Trudeau. We are coming to take our seat back," Green said in a Facebook posting.
Green was Prince George's mayor for three years, beginning in 2011 when she defeated Dan Rogers.
In 2014, she opted against running for a second term and focussed instead on becoming the Conservatives candidate for Cariboo-Prince George. However, Todd Doherty won that contest and was subsequently elected the riding's MP.
Green, in turn, left for Surrey where she worked for Diane Watts who had become the MP for South Surrey-White Rock after a handful of terms as Surrey's mayor.
Watts vacated the seat last year to run for the leadership of the B.C. Liberals. Although seen as a frontrunner, Watts eventually lost to Andrew Wilkinson.
And in December, Liberal Gordon Hogg was elected the MP for South Surrey-White Rock.
Green has set up a website, sharigreen.ca, and is urging supporters living in the riding to purchase a membership through the website.
