Peter Milobar is one of four sitting MLAs running for the leadership of the Conservative party of B.C.
He was first elected to the legislature in 2017 as a Liberal in the Kamloops—North Thomson riding and is the finance critic for the Conservatives. Before running provincially, Milobar was a city councillor for two terms in Kamloops before becoming mayor for nine years from 2008 to 2017.
In an interview with columnist Rob Shaw, Milobar said, “I have a demonstrated skill set to deal with diverse views around a large board of elected officials. And then I know how to interstitch all of that with a government bureaucracy. So I think that very much sets me up well for the challenges facing British Columbia.”
Ten people have indicated they want the job.
Milobar says, “I bring a level of seriousness to the big issues facing BC. The biggest being the economy and its direct affect affordability, crime, education and real estate.”
As well, Milobar says, “I am uniquely qualified to address reconciliation in BC. The manner in which Premier Eby and his party are addressing it, is counterproductive.”
Milobar joined a Conversation That Matters about his vision for the party and the province. See the video at vancouversun.com/tag/conversations-that-matter.
