Member of Legislative Assembly
On account of the realignment of electoral boundaries, most incumbents did not represent the entirety of their listed district during the preceding legislative term. Its MLA is Bruce Ralston. He was first elected in 2005, and was re-elected in the 2009 election. He represents the British Columbia New Democratic Party.
