LFG, it's a shame Rob had to step away, but I can't wait to see her in action.

I hope the BC Legislative Assembly becomes more diverse with her in it.

On Tuesday, B.C. Green Party MLA Rob Botterell announced he would step aside to allow party leader Emily Lowan to run in Saanich North and the Islands, a seat held by the Greens since 2017.
From the CBC story

Not a good look for the Greens when they push out a known electable MLA so that the leader can run in a safe seat and their former leader is running for CentreBC.

their former leader

He wasn't in the greens for 6 years. Andrew Weaver isn't the face of the greens forever.
