Stu Holland decides against running for mayor of Kamloops

KAMLOOPS — Stu Holland has changed his mind and will not be running for the mayor’s chair in Kamloops this fall.

A general contractor by trade, he attributes his decision to what he feels is a lack of interest from voters in this year’s race.

“From what I’m seeing and hearing on social media, Kamloops voters, the hard-working ones, aren’t really focused and not interested in local politics,” he told CFJC Today. “It was a hard decision because with the other two candidates, I would have loved to have taken on both of them.”

Despite his decision not to run, he hasn’t closed the door on future runs for office.
