Making use of media to promote your candidacy...

As we get closer and closer to November 19th, a fair number of candidates have made use of the media to promote their candidacy for local government (City, CRD or School District)

Over at Welcome to Williams Lake - they've established a "Cariboo Elections Page" where candidates can introduce themselves to their on-line readers (both press release and video): (view the latest information and online debates here)

Those candidates include:

1) Scott Nelson - City of WL
2) Kerry Cook - City of WL
3) Walt Cobb - City of WL
4) Steve Forseth - City of WL
5) Surinderpal Rathor - City of WL
6) Deb Bischoff (since acclaimed for a 2nd term as CRD Area 'D' Director)
7) Joan Sorley (since acclaimed for a 2nd term as CRD Area 'F' Director)
8) Laurie Walters - City of WL
9) Ivan Bonnell - City of WL
10) Sue Zacharias - City of WL
11) Richard Vollo - City of WL
12) Geoff Bourdon - City of WL

Candidates who have not used this medium include:

1) Peter Bowman - City of WL
2) Mike Bouchard - City of WL
3) Paul Kandola - City of WL
4) Tanessa Fairburn - City of WL
5) Gord Keener - City of WL
6) Mike Jacobsen - City of WL
7) Danica Hughes - City of WL
8) Bill Carruthers, Brandy Dickie, Byron Kemp and Stacy Wong - CRD Area 'E'
8) Heather McKenzie/Jackie Austin - SD #27 Zone 4
9) Oleh Lazarchuk, Sheila Boehm and Jim Ritchie - SD #27 Zone 5
10) Rob Zacharias/Dr Doug Neufeld - SD #27 Zone 6

If you are a candidate that has not made use of this opportunity, I strongly encourage you to do so in the following ways:

Email - news@welcometowilliamslake.ca
Phone - 250-398-0508

I'm sure they'll love to interview you and hear your story about why you want to run in City of WL, CRD Area 'E' or SD #27 - Zones 4,5,6 Elections.  Remember - you only have 28 days to get on it...
