LANGLEY (NEWS 1130) – A name well-known in BC politics wants his old job back. Former BC Liberal Education Minister Peter Fassbender has announced he is running for the mayor’s chair in Langley.
The former councillor and three-term mayor says his platform is trying to make sure Langley stay a strong voice in the region.
“We are at a critical time in the Province and Region when it comes to issues of Transportation; Housing Supply and Affordability; Homelessness and the Opioid Crisis to name only a few,” he said in a release.
“I strongly believe my previous years on Council, as well as my time in the Provincial Government have given me the tools I need to continue to contribute into the future.”
He says that after talking to family and friends he’s determined that, at 71 years old, he still has the energy to make at least a four-year commitment to the City of Langley as mayor.
The civic election is this October.
