As an initiative to bring more attention to who your MLAs are, I have started writing MLA profiles for each of the MLAs. The MLAs are chosen at random orders and are posted once a day for 85 days.
Mike Farnworth is a BC MLA. He currently serves the riding of Port Coquitlam, where his primary constituents are the residents of Port Coquitlam.
Mike has been elected in 1991, 1996, 2005, and 2009. He was not elected in 2001 due to the NDPs failure and the BC Liberal’s success. Prior to being elected in 1991, he served three terms on Port Coquitlam City Council.
He currently serves as the Opposition House Leader. Due to his high awareness for public safety, he has been appointed by the party as the Opposition Critic for Public Safety and Solicitor General. In the past, he has served as the Minister of Health and Minister of Social Development and Economic Security.
According to VoteSmartBC: As Minister of Employment and Investment, Farnworth oversaw a decline in both employment and investment. GDP growth under successive NDP governments was a full 25% less than the national average.
People have felt that Carole James is not a leader who can lead the NDP to victory. Some people have came forward and said that Mike Farnworth should be the interim leader for the BCNDP. There are also people who are against the fact, as he is “remarkably right-wing for a New Democrat”.
