Chris Beach gets the Liberal nod in Cariboo-Prince George

The Liberals have named their first local candidate for next month’s federal election.

Chris Beach was acclaimed for the nomination in the Cariboo-Prince George riding.

Beach recently rejoined the party because of the fiscal strengths of new Leader, Mark Carney.

“Threats to Canadian sovereignty and the economy have never been more serious. Carney is the right leader at the right time to steer us through the uncertainty and challenges we have to face and overcome. I am running for Cariboo-Prince George so we can have more than an opposition voice in Ottawa when the Liberals win this election,” Beach said.

His campaign launch is set for tomorrow (Friday) at Betulla Burning Pizzeria in Prince George with more events to come throughout the riding.

As a small business owner, Beach understands how difficult the last few years have been with increased operating and supply costs. “The steady hand that Carney brought to the 2008 economic crisis and Brexit will help Canada’s economy stabilize as we face the challenges of 2025.”

Beach teaches Political Science at the College of New Caledonia. He previously served as a Municipal Councillor, Mayor and Regional District Director in Burns Lake.

Chris, his wife and his son live in Prince George where Beach has taught at Sacred Heart and Southridge Elementary Schools.
