BC
CONSERVATIVE PARTY SELECTS CANDIDATE FOR
PRINCE GEORGE –
VALEMOUNT

PRINCE GEORGE: BC Conservative Party Leader, Wilf
Hanni, announced today that Sean Ollech has been selected by the BC Conservative
Party as their Candidate for MLA in the Prince George-Valemount Constituency in
the May 12, 2009 General Election.

Sean Ollech is a long time
resident of Prince George, having lived in the Beaverley area since he was
3. He attended school at Beaverley Elementary, John McInnis Junior
Secondary, and finally graduated with his IB diploma at PGSS.

In
2007, he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree majoring in History from the
University of Northern British Columbia.

Sean Ollech is a data
entry clerk who also owns his own tutoring business in Prince George.

Sean Ollech says that he will be running on a platform with three
major planks: Prolife, balanced budget and no carbon tax. “British Columbians,
particularly those in the North deserve a government that is representative of
their interests. If elected I promise that I will represent all my constituents
regardless of party affiliation. For too long decisions in this province have
been made from Vancouver for Vancouver.”

Sean Ollech believes that
serious upgrades in infrastructure are necessary in Northern British Columbia.
“I would like to see the construction of a pipeline from Alberta to Prince
Rupert, as well as the expansion of the Port of Prince Rupert. Prince George is
the transportation hub of the north, and I believe that both projects will not
only be cost effective, but also prove a considerable boon to the North as a
whole.”

In addition to the pipeline, Sean Ollech promises that he
would vote in favour to repeal the Oil and Gas moratorium, passed by the NDP
party. “Newfoundland has had considerable success with Hibernia, as have the
United Kingdom and Norway. There is no reason why we shouldn't do the same in
British Columbia where the resources exist. It would provide considerable
employment not only in the primary industry, but also in secondary and tertiary
employment spun off from the project.”

Sean Ollech believes
that BC has a very promising future and that under effective management, the
province can succeed and thrive despite difficult economic conditions.
