Doerkson names Angelo Isidorou to key senior role in latest staff appointments

B.C. premier-designate Lorne Doerkson has named three more senior staff to his office.

Doerkson said Monday that Angelo Isidorou, former executive director of the B.C. Conservative party, will serve as principal secretary.

Isidorou is credited as a major force behind the party’s rise to form Official Opposition in 2024, and he served as a chief strategist for the Conservatives’ campaign in this fall’s snap election.

Shane Mills, communications director for the former B.C. Liberal government, has been appointed executive director of communications and issues management.

Doerkson has also tapped Allie Blades as deputy chief of staff. Blades served as chief of staff under interim Conservative leader Trevor Halford.

Longtime pollster and political strategist Dimitri Pantazopoulos was previously announced as Doerkson’s chief of staff.

The B.C. Conservative MLAs are scheduled to be sworn in at the legislature on Nov. 19., and Doerkson will swear in his cabinet on Nov. 20.
