Jonathan's plan for the
BC Greens
​
-
​Harness his success as an elected Green Councillor to strengthen Riding Associations and win more seats in the next election.​
​
-
Vigorously oppose new pipelines, oil tankers on our coast, LNG/fracking projects, and old-growth logging.
​
-
Develop a science-informed platform that will improve affordability and health care, build a clean economy, achieve our climate goals, and protect our forests and oceans.
-
Lead with hope, energy and excitement to forge personal connections with local communities and inspire British Columbians to join our Party.
Why I'm running
I wake up every morning with the goal of trying to make our province a better place.​
I am excited about the future of BC, where housing is affordable, everyone has a family doctor, well-paying jobs are plentiful, the economy is strong, and we are protecting our forests and oceans.
People are anxious about the cost of living, the climate crisis and our deteriorating health care system. They deserve better from their provincial government.
The BC Greens are the only party with a long-term vision that will actually build a stronger province. To grow our party, we need a leader that can articulate this vision, inspire British Columbians to act, and deliver results.
The next chapter of the BC Greens is filled with excitement and success. I can’t wait to build it with all of you.
