Progress Vancouver candidates disqualified after party breaks campaign finance rules
Elections BC has banned long-time political organizer Mark Marissen and other Progress Vancouver candidates from running in the next round of local elections after it deregistered their party for breaking campaign finance rules.
Marissen, who is the ex-husband of former premier Christy Clark, led the party and ran for mayor in Vancouver but finished a distant fourth with 3.4 per cent of the vote, won by Ken Sim. None of Progress Vancouver’s other candidates were elected. “At the time, Progress Vancouver also disclosed that there were issues with a handful of donations that came from out of province, and with some missing contributions data, and addressed those issues as best it could with the information available.”
“Depending on the outcome of the investigation, administrative monetary penalties may apply,” Elections BC spokesperson Andrew Watson said in an interview on Tuesday.
