Sam Willey News Demo

On May 9th 2017 British Columbia will go to the polls to elect members to the Legislative Assembly. Morgan Oger is running for office in the riding of False Creek, BC, as the NDP's candidate. If elected, Morgane would become the first openly elected trans person, to be elected to public office in Canada. Her opponent is the incumbent Sam Sullivan of the Liberal party, who defeated the NDP the last time around by a majority of over 3,000 votes. I had the opportunity to speak with Morgane on April 8th 2017, the day of her official campaign launch.
