Dhillon To Take On NDP Leader Dix In Also-Ran Mode!
VANCOUVER–Federal Public Servant Gurjit Dhillon is the latest Indo-Canadian joining a slew of recently announced ethnic candidates for the struggling BC Liberal Party. She will be the party’s candidate in Vancouver-Kingsway.
“This is an important election for British Columbia, and there is a clear choice for voters,” said Dhillon. “Premier Christy Clark has a bold vision for the future of our province, and I’m proud to join her team.”
Dhillon is fluent in Punjabi and Hindi, and is a volunteer with SUCCESS and Vancouver Arts Umbrella.
“Over the past few months, we’ve seen a number of strong candidates join Today’s BC Liberals across B.C.,” added Dhillon. “I’ve been inspired by the quality team of candidates that the Premier has recruited to run for her. It shows me that she is the type of leader that strong individuals are excited to work for.”
Dhillon will run against NDP leader Adrian Dix, making her candidacy just for the books as Dix will easily take the NDP dominated riding.
“We can move forward towards a bigger economy with more jobs and more opportunities for families under Premier Christy Clark. Or, we can slide backwards to bigger government, more taxes and more debt under Adrian Dix and the BC NDP. To me, the choice is clear,” concluded Dhillon.
Dhillon will be nominated tonight at the Renfrew Park Community Centre.
Dhillon, the daughter of immigrant parents, was born and raised in Terrace, British Columbia.
After completing secondary school she moved to Vancouver, where she completed her studies at Vancouver College in Health Studies.
She began her career in the hotel industry while studying and on completion began her career in health services with Vancouver General Hospital. For the past seven years, Gurjit has worked in the Federal Public Service.
