Prince George, B.C. – Tracy Calogheros,  CEO  of the Exploration Place,  is throwing her hat in the ring  and hopes to become the Liberal candidate for the riding of  Cariboo-Prince George.

She has been involved with the Liberal party  for many  years,  but says “The time is right.”

Calogheros says  she  has  had  discussion with her family, and  has their support.

She says  her experience with the Canada Winter Games  motivated her to make  the leap ” I am more in love with this Region than ever.  I want to contribute to the groundswell of change that is already underway and help to build our Region for the future; I think that my best opportunity to do that is to offer myself up as a potential candidate.”

Of course   nominations are only  won with  the number of memberships sold  and turnout  at the nomination meeting.  There is no date  for that meeting yet,  and there is  one other person who ( not yet  ready to go public)  is eying the nomination.

Calogheros still has to get the stamp of approval  from  the Federal Liberal Party  which  will say  yes or no to her  intentions.
