I’m voting for Brian Andrews because he represents the direction Kamloops City Council should be taking with the governance of our city. Hard Work, working together, getting things done, and making a better Kamloops for everyone.
Brian Andrews – Candidate for City Councillor
Brian is committed to raising up all of Kamloops’ citizens.
Jesse Ritcey – Candidate for City Councillor
Jesse has deep integrity, passion and commitment to humanities intertwining ecosystems. I’ve been known to coin the phrase “What would Jesse Ritcey do?”

Nancy genuinely cares about Kamloops citizens and interacts inclusively at community events. Her due diligence is thorough when it comes to deliberating on council motions.
Troylana Manson – Candidate for School Trustee 73 – TEA1
Troylana will be a dynamic asset to the public & board with her related experience and personable skills.
Kathrine Blair-Wunderlich – Candidate for City Councillor
I will be voting for Katherine Blair/Wunderlich. She cares about Kamloops. She is dedicated, smart, honest, and determined to make Kamloops better for us and future generations.
Kathrine Blair-Wunderlich – Candidate for City Councillor
Katherine will be a hardworking councillor who will listens to the people of Kamloops and works hard to represent their concerns and priorities. She will be dedicated to making sure residents’ voices are heard.
Kathrine Blair-Wunderlich – Candidate for City Councillor
Kathrine has strong opinions but is always ready to listen to the other side of the story. She will always base her decisions on thorough examination of the issue before voting. She will always look at the needs the city has before the wants. What will these decisions mean for the taxpayers? Will they add value and improve the services for the citizens of Kamloops or add unneeded stress to their lives? Kathrine will be an excellent addition to city council.
Kathrine Blair-Wunderlich – Candidate for City Councillor
I may be a little biased as her daughter, but I’ve also had a lifetime to see who my mom is when nobody is campaigning. For as long as I can remember, she has been someone who stands up for people. She has spent years as a labour leader, organizing and advocating for workers and their rights. More recently, I’ve watched her advocate for seniors, helping people navigate difficult tenancy issues and successfully work through the RTB process. My mom is incredibly principled. She knows what she believes in and she doesn’t compromise her values simply because it would be easier. But being principled has never meant being unwilling to listen. She knows how to work with people who have very different perspectives, find common ground, and move things forward without losing sight of what matters to her. Kamloops has been her home for decades. She wants to see it continue to grow, evolve and progress, but not at the expense of the people who are most vulnerable. She sees how unaffordable the city has become. She hears from seniors and longtime residents who are genuinely worried about whether they will be able to afford to remain in the homes and community they’ve spent decades building their lives in. Those concerns aren’t theoretical to her. They’re the concerns of people she knows, listens to and has spent years standing beside. There are plenty of things I could say about why I’m proud of my mom. But what matters most to me in seeing her put her name forward for Council is that the person Kamloops is seeing now is the same person I have always known: someone who cares deeply about her community, stands firmly by her principles, listens to people who see things differently, and believes that progress should include everyone.
Bryce Eberle – Candidate for City Councillor
I’ve known Bryce for a few years and have spent many hours chatting with him about the issues facing our city. Bryce is not shy in speaking out about what he believes in. He is an active member of local sports organization, a volunteer coach for youth teams, and owns and operates a successful consulting business in the construction industry focused on energy efficiency and sustainability. He is focused on the greater good rather than personal bias and will be a strong voice for the people of Kamloops
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.
