Another BC Liberal has stepped up to the plate to run in the Coquitlam-Burke Mountain byelection.

On Monday, Joan Isaacs declared her intention to seek the nod from party members in the provincial riding on Dec. 14.

A Coquitlam resident for 30 years, Isaacs has served on the executive of the Coquitlam-Burke Mountain BC Liberal riding association, as president of the Port Moody-Coquitlam riding association and as secretary of the BC Liberal Women's Network. Her community work has included CERA, the Tri-Cities Homelessness Task Force, New View Society and Port Coquitlam minor hockey and lacrosse.

Isaacs faces outgoing Tri-Cities Chamber of Commerce president Rick Pasin in the nomination contest.

The provincial government has until Feb. 17 to call the by-election, which was prompted following the resignation of Coquitlam-Burke Mountain Liberal MLA Doug Horne.
