Corinne Mori Announces Independent Candidacy for BC Election October 2024

Nelson, BC on May 7, 2024
Nelson advocate, Corinne Mori announces her Independent candidacy for the new provincial riding of Kootenay Central in the upcoming BC election scheduled for the fall.
Mori, who resides just outside Nelson, says she chose to run as an independent because she believes Kootenay residents are looking for an alternative to status quo politics. "All across BC, people are signaling a need for political reformation", she says. She points to past low voter turnout as evidence of just how disillusioned and underwhelmed voters have been in past. “If only half the population is turning up to vote, it’s a clear indication that either we have fallen short in educating the public about our political system, or we’re failing to provide candidates who merit their vote” states Mori.
Corinne Mori’s campaign prioritizes practical solutions over rhetoric, focusing on healthcare reform, homeownership programs, and taxation cuts. “The government’s expansion is surpassing our financial
capacity to pay for it. Larger governments create increased bureaucracy and red tape, leading to
decreased service standards and inefficiencies," she states. "What started out as over-regulation, results in over-taxation, often with more money going to administer the system than what the system provides back to the public.”
She says being an independent candidate offers the advantage of having a representative who is free to
advocate for the constituents’ interests without being constrained by party agendas. Independent
representation answers directly to the people, giving constituents’ voices more power in political decisions.
Corinne Mori’s broad background in rural healthcare, construction, and small business not only offers practical expertise but also provides a solid foundation for addressing systemic challenges in the healthcare and housing sectors. Rural communities face unique challenges in accessing healthcare services, and Mori is not only well-versed in these challenges but she is also committed to defending these essential services.
The pivotal factor propelling Mori into politics was her recent venture in mobilizing a grassroots community network aimed at monitoring local RDCK operations. “Through our team’s thorough exploration of the RDCK’s financial management and service delivery, we devised strategies to simplify complex government operations for the public, enabling citizens to engage effectively”, said Mori. “This proactive approach, working along with Directors, resulted in greater accountability and lowered taxation rates. It was fascinating to watch the democratic process actually work”.
