Long-time MLA Mike Morris won’t seek re-election in Prince George riding
One of the most popular politicians and familiar faces in northern British Columbia won’t seek re-election.
“It’s time. I will be 70 this year. I have got grandkids, I have got all kind of things I’d like to do.” Morris is deeply familiar with Prince George specifically and northern B.C. generally. He started his career with the RCMP in 1973 in Prince George before returning to the community in 1996, where he also returned in 2005 as Superintendent for the North District. Between his stops in Prince George, Morris served mainly across northern British Columbia notwithstanding a stop in Vancouver and Alberta, transferring 14 times overall.
“I didn’t realize it until I got into politics. It’s was a great transitional platform to get into politics. You are used to dealing with legislation, I am used to case law, I am used to knowing what the authorities are for anybody to do anything. It was a good training ground for me and of course, it taught me a lot of patience, which is what you need, when you are politics, because things don’t move fast.
