BC Conservative Kristina Loewen is Kelowna Centre's first MLA

BC Conservative candidate Kristina Loewen will be in the Kelowna Centre MLA seat in Victoria after her decisive win at the ballot boxes. Loewen defeated BC NDP's Loyal Wooldridge, BC Greens Bryce Tippe, and Independent Michael Humer. This will be Loewen’s first public office after years of experience in real estate. She also has experience as a doula and an essential oils sales rep. Loewen currently resides in West Kelowna, but has been in the Kelowna area for 25 years. Loewen ran her race quietly and focused on knocking on doors. She hasn’t done an interview with the press since March, and she did not attend the Kelowna Chamber of Commerce’s all candidates forum. She managed to win a riding that was carved out of two BC Liberal strongholds, Kelowna-Mission and Kelowna-Lake Country, and will be Kelowna Centre's first MLA.  Her victory is not a shock since she led the polls for the duration of the provincial campaign period.  To contact a reporter for this story, email Jesse Tomas mailto:jtomas@infonews.ca  or call 250-488-3065 or email the editor mailto:news@infonews.ca .
