Tracy Calogheros will be the Liberal candidate in Cariboo-Prince George in the coming federal election.
Nominated this week, it will be the second time she has run to be the riding's MP. Calegheros finished second to Conservative Todd Doherty in 2015, who drew 19,688 votes to her 16,921.
"I am honoured to have once again earned the trust of local Liberals to represent our community on Parliament Hill, and to work with Justin Trudeau to create new jobs that strengthen our local economy," she said in a statement issued Wednesday. "I once again look forward to working hard throughout the campaign to earn the support of people throughout Cariboo-Prince George, one conversation at a time."
Married with three adult children, Calogheros is the CEO for the Exploration Place Museum and Science Centre in Prince George, a position she has held since 2003. She also currently serves as the President of the Canadian Association of Science Centres and is a Director at Large for the Fraser Basin Council.
Some of her past roles also include President and Interim CEO of the Northern British Columbia Tourism Association, Tourism Chair for the Spirit of BC Community Committee and Western Representative on the National Selection Committee - Broadband for Rural and Northern Development.
