The last time six people ran for mayor of Prince George was in 2011, three elections ago.
There has been plenty written over the past few years about voter apathy and a growing unwillingness for people to put their name forward to run for elected office.
Nevertheless, numerous candidates have stepped up to run for Prince George mayor, city council and school board. It’s not the same elsewhere in the province. More than three dozen mayors in B.C. didn’t even have to run for re-election because no one challenged them, including Burnaby and Port Coquitlam.Here in Prince George, there are plenty of options in terms of age, background, experience and perspective running for city council. Voter interest also seems to be high.
