ABBOTSFORD B.C. – The B.C. Green Party is pleased to announce the nomination of its candidate for Abbotsford-Mission, Jennifer Holmes. Holmes has been a resident of the Fraser Valley for 15 years and is in the healthcare field as a patient transfer driver.

I believe in accountability first and foremost. The people of B.C. deserve a candidate who will listen to all sides of the story and be open to new ideas that will carry us into a bright, hopeful future.”
