The B.C. Liberals have announced Steve Darling, former morning anchor for Global television, as the party’s new candidate for Burnaby-Lougheed.

“I am honoured to be running for the B.C. Liberals in the riding of Burnaby-Lougheed. It’s an exciting time for me, my family and our province as well,” Darling said in a written release.

“For the past 18 years I have gone to work in Burnaby, telling stories that matter. Now, I’m looking forward to fighting for the priorities that matter, such as good jobs, a strong economy and world-class services for young families like my own. ”

Darling was let go from Global in early October, after having worked there for almost two decades.

He follows former Global senior reporter Jas Johal, who also recently joined the B.C. Liberals.
