Lucy Sager quits B.C. Liberal leadership race, throws support to Dianne Watts
TERRACE, B.C. — The field of hopefuls for the leadership of British Columbia’s Liberal party has been cut by one.
Businesswoman Lucy Sager from Terrace has dropped out of the race and says she is throwing her support behind federal Conservative member of Parliament and former Surrey mayor Dianne Watts.
A news release issued by Sager says she wants to focus on her family and is suspending her campaign due to a number of “recent personal setbacks.”
It says she decided to run because B.C. needs a leader who can champion resource development, affordability and compassion for those struggling to make a better life in the province.
