Michael Wolfe - Green - Richmond Queensborough
Typically a perennial candidate for any Green Party nomination in Richmond, Michael Wolfe stepped back from this provincial election, having been previously elected to city council in 2018. Wolfe says the BC Green Party’s failure to run two candidates in the city is indicative of not having time to organize due to the snap election call by the BC NDP. File photo
