It was a tough decision, but it feels like the right one.
That from Skeena-Bulkley Valley NDP Member of Parliament Nathan Cullen Friday as he announced he would not be running in the next federal election.
Cullen says it’s been quite a ride, but he promised himself that on the day he left politics, he would leave with his family, his health, and his integrity intact.
As for what comes next, Cullen says he plans to “work his tail off” until the next election.
As for who might represent the NDP in the next federal election, Cullen says a number of well-known northwest residents will likely be “kicking the tires” when it comes to seeking the nomination in Skeena-Bulkley Valley.
