Federal and BC NDP veteran Jinny Sims was nominated back in April from her stronghold of Surrey-Panorama but will she be back in cabinet if she wins which is most likely as vote split between Conservative Party of BC and BC United Party in most NDP-held ridings in Surrey will mean re-election for everyone from Sims to Harry Bains and Garry Begg.

SURREY—Federal and BC NDP veteran Jinny Sims was nominated back in April from her stronghold of Surrey-Panorama but will she be back in cabinet if she wins which is most likely as vote split between Conservative Party of BC and BC United Party in most NDP-held ridings in Surrey will mean re-election for everyone from Sims to Harry Bains and Garry Begg.

NDP news release said described Sims as a mother, grandmother, teacher, and past president of the BC Teachers' Federation. Sims is also a lifelong advocate for children, families, and schools. A former MP, twice-elected MLA and past provincial cabinet minister, she has fought hard on issues that make a difference to people and families, like affordable childcare, a stronger healthcare system and building strong communities that are safe and inclusive for all.

"Surrey is the fastest growing municipality in BC, and the people who live here are facing big challenges," said Jinny Sims. "They need a representative in government who puts people first and takes action on issues that matter here, like building the new Surrey hospital, building schools, expanding transit and keeping tolls off bridges. We can't risk what a Conservative or BCU government would cost us all, and I'm ready to keep fighting hard everyday so people can build a good life here." 

"Jinny Sims is devoted to Surrey and helping make life better for people who live here," said Premier David Eby. "She's an important member of our BC NDP team, and I know she'll continue her strong advocacy for the people of Surrey-Panorama and the issues that matter to them."
