A by-election has yet to be called in the provincial riding of Coquitlam-Burke Mountain but all three major parties now have their candidates lined up for the contest.
Last night (Monday), members of the BC Liberal Party voted Joan Isaacs over Rick Pasin to represent them on the ballot. The decision was made in the Eagle Ridge Bible Fellowship church hall.
Isaacs was a late-comer to the race, announcing her intention to run only two weeks ago.
A longtime Coquitlam resident, Isaacs has volunteered with a number of community causes including politics, minor sports, health and youth.
She will face the NDP's Jodie Wickens and Joe Keithley of the Green Party at the polls.
The by-election was prompted following the resignation of BC Liberal MLA Doug Horne, who quit to run in the federal election in October for the Conservative Party.
A by-election is also due in the Vancouver-Mount Pleasant riding formerly held by NDP Jenny Kwan, who won her federal seat.
