FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
“After countless conversations with the constituents in my riding of Richmond North Centre, it became clear that the number one priority I hear all day, every day, is that the BC NDP must be defeated in the next election. The cost of having the NDP in government, to our economy and to our society, is too high. It has also become clear that the best party to defeat the NDP is the BC Conservative Party” - Teresa Wat, MLA for Richmond North Centre
July 30, Richmond, BC: Today, Teresa Wat, MLA for Richmond North Centre, announced her intention to seek re-election as a candidate for Richmond Bridgeport under the BC Conservative Party.
“This was not an easy decision, but one that I have been contemplating for many months,” said Teresa Wat. “After countless conversations with the constituents in my riding of Richmond North Centre, it became clear that the number one priority I hear all day, every day, is that the BC NDP must be defeated in the next election. The cost of having the NDP in government, to our economy and to our society, is too high. It has also become clear that the best party to defeat the NDP is the BC Conservative Party.”
Wat emphasized the need for a free enterprise coalition to undo the harmful policies of the BC NDP. “I believe that a free enterprise coalition is what British Columbia needs to undo the harmful policies of the BC NDP. I believe that the BC Conservative Party under leader John Rustad is that party that will deliver common sense change and the way forward for British Columbia.”
John Rustad, Leader of the Conservative Party of British Columbia, welcomed Teresa Wat to the party with enthusiasm. “Teresa Wat is a dedicated and hardworking representative who has consistently put the needs of her constituents first. Her decision to join the BC Conservative Party is a testament to our shared vision for a prosperous and thriving British Columbia,” said Rustad. “Teresa’s experience and commitment to free enterprise principles will be invaluable as we work together to defeat the BC NDP and implement policies that support economic growth and individual freedoms. We are thrilled to have her on board and look forward to her contributions to our team.”
“For eleven years it has been my honour to represent the people of Richmond North Centre as their MLA. I am proud of my record and I am proud to stand for re-election as a candidate of Richmond Bridgeport,” Wat continued. “I look forward to continuing my service to the people of Richmond and working towards a brighter future for all British Columbians under the leadership of the BC Conservative Party.”
Rustad further added, “The BC NDP’s policies have stifled economic growth and burdened our society. With leaders like Teresa Wat joining our ranks, we are more prepared than ever to bring about the common sense change that British Columbians need. Her dedication and insight will strengthen our efforts to create a more prosperous and fair province.”
