Elections are about people, communities and the values that we share as British Columbians. And today, I want to congratulate some wonderful friends and colleagues who have earned the trust of voters across Vancouver Island.

A heartfelt congratulations to Josie Osborne, George Anderson, Will Cole-Hamilton and Sheila Malcolmson on their election victories! I've had the privilege of working alongside each of them, and I know how much they care about the people and communities they serve.

I'm also thinking of Stephanie Higginson, who is ahead in the count, but it's too close to call and we need to await the mail-in and absentee ballots on November 6. Stephanie has worked incredibly hard, and I'm hopeful she'll have the opportunity to continue serving her community.

I want to extend my sincere thanks to every candidate who put their name forward, and especially to the volunteers who gave so much of their time, energy and hearts to these campaigns. From knocking on doors and making calls to putting up signs and getting out the vote, you are the heart and soul of our democracy.

Of course, this election also brings disappointment and difficult goodbyes for some outstanding people who have dedicated themselves to public service. I want to acknowledge their contributions and thank them for everything they've done for British Columbians.

Whatever the political landscape ahead, my commitment remains the same: to work with our provincial and local representatives, across party lines whenever possible, to deliver for the people of our communities.

From affordable housing and health care to protecting our coast, supporting local jobs and making life more affordable, there's so much work ahead of us.

Our communities deserve nothing less than all of us working together to make life better.

Thank you to everyone who voted, volunteered and participated in our democracy. Your voices matter, and so does your commitment to the future of our beautiful Island

Thank you Nanaimo - Lantzville for placing your trust in me once again. I will never take that trust for granted.

To every volunteer, my campaign team, my family, and everyone who gave so much to this campaign — thank you.

I was born and raised in Nanaimo and serving our community has been the honour of a lifetime, and I am grateful for the opportunity to continue.

Across BC, voters have made their choice. We respect that decision. Our party must now listen, reflect honestly, take responsibility for where we fell short, and earn the confidence of British Columbians again.

My values have not changed. I will keep fighting for affordable housing, accessible health care, strong public education, good jobs, and a future where everyone has the opportunity to get ahead.

From opposition, I will work constructively where I can, stand firm where I must, and hold the government accountable for its decisions and their impact on people.

Thank you, Nanaimo–Lantzville. The work continues.
