TRU Professor confirms Kamloops mayoral aspirations
KAMLOOPS — A political neophyte is confirming her intention to run for the Kamloops mayor’s chair in the upcoming by-election.
Cindy Ross Friedman is a biology professor at Thompson Rivers University.
She says her involvement behind the scenes in the recent provincial campaign convinced her to put her name forward.
“There are a lot of problems. Especially when I was door-knocking and canvasing for Barb Nederpel in the North Shore I just saw such incredible poverty. You walk down those streets, there is no sidewalks, so it just really made me think this is something I have to give a shot to,” said Ross Friedman.
