With less than two months to go before B.C. Liberals elect a new leader, one Okanagan MLA is throwing his support behind candidate Todd Stone.
Kelowna-Mission MLA Steve Thomson put out a media release Wednesday announcing he was endorsing Stone because of his “leadership style” and “proven track record of bridging rural and urban B.C.”

B.C. Liberal party members will vote to elect a new leader from Feb. 1 to 3.
Former leader and MLA for Kelowna-West, Christy Clark resigned last summer.
