Steve Kim is jumping into the race for a Coquitlam council seat in this fall’s civic election.
Kim, who ran unsuccessfully in the last two provincial elections as a BC Liberal candidate in Coquitlam-Maillardville, has a background in the technology industry and has been an active community volunteer.
He said he wants a seat on council so he can focus on improving affordability for residents.
“I pledge to respect our tax dollars and look for cost-saving opportunities throughout the year,” he said. “I plan to cultivate a welcoming business environment that not only nurtures entrepreneurship but also creates local jobs for people to remain close to home.”
Municipal elections take place in communities across B.C. Oct. 20.
