SALMON ARM, B.C. — A new person has entered the race for the Salmon Arm-Shuswap provincial riding.

The Conservative Party of B.C. has announced that David Williams will run for the party in the 2024 provincial election.

The party said Williams worked in the heating, ventilation, air conditioning (HVAC) industry before shifting fields and becoming a residential and commercial realtor.

“David’s extensive experience and education led him to roles with the B.C. Assessment Authority and as a regional appraiser with the Saskatchewan Assessment Management Authority,” the party’s website stated.

“Currently, he serves as a Loss Control Specialist/Residential Appraiser in the insurance industry, covering the Shuswap-Okanagan region, which gives him unique insights into the community’s needs.”
