Port Coquitlam Mayor Brad West will be seeking re-election in the upcoming municipal election.

West made the announcement Wednesday morning, writing online that he is “incredibly proud of all the progress, improvements and projects completed” throughout his current term.

“We are getting things done! And have a lot more to do!” he tweeted.

West has been a vocal mayor on many subjects, some provincial. He has been outspoken about money laundering, as well as foreign influence on local markets that may have contributed to the situation.

While he has not publicly suggested he was interested in the BC NDP leadership position, some pundits had named West as a potential wildcard in the race to replace John Horgan, who will be stepping down once a new leader is chosen. Attorney General David Eby remains the only person officially looking to take over the party’s top job.
