Jesse Ritcey

Candidate for City Councillor

I’ve watched Jesse Ritcey over the years, and one thing that has always stood out to me is how involved he is in our community. Jesse is a community leader, and he doesn’t just show up when there’s an election. He is out there all the time, talking with people, listening to their concerns, and taking part in the issues that matter to Kamloops. He takes the time to understand what people are dealing with and what they want to see in their city. He stays involved, asks questions, and keeps learning. Over the years, I’ve seen Jesse grow as a leader and build strong connections with people across Kamloops. I respect the time and effort he puts into our community, and I think that says a lot about who he is.
