Striving Against Opposition

John Reynolds Retiring

John Reynolds won't stand in the next election. The vetran politician has stepped aside as houseleader to allow for continuity through the next election, and announced he won't run in the next election but he will serve as national campaign chair in the next election.

Reynolds cited health concerns as faimly as the reason for his decision.

Reynolds has been in and out of politics since 1972, so with more than 30 years of service to several conservative parties ranging from the Progressive Conservatives, to BC Social Credit, to the Reform Party, the Canadian Alliance Party and the Conservative Party. He's been a valuable contributor to the party and has been one of our most valuable and effective Mps. He will be missed.

Jay Hill of Prince George - Peace River will replace Reynolds as house leader.
