During last year's federal election, Kerr ran against the Conservative Party of Canada candidate Todd Doherty, Liberal Party of Canada's Tracy Calogheros, NDP's Heather Sapergia, People's Party of Canada's Jing Lan Yang and Independent Michael Orr in the Cariboo-Prince George riding.
Doherty would retain his seat while Kerr finished behind Calogheros, Sapergia and Doherty for fourth place with 4,998 votes which equated to 9.1 per cent of the vote.
More to come.
I'm thrilled to welcome these outstanding candidates to carry the @BCGreens banner in their communities!#bcelxn #bcpoli #bcvotes #BCelxn2020 https://t.co/XkjGtjxGsw
