A third hat has been thrown into the ring for the Chilliwack riding, and it’s another well-known name.

Coulter is currently a board member of the Chilliwack School District, and sits as the board chair. He has been an employee of the BC NDP for several years, and has worked as a campaign manager in the past.

He says he plans to continue his work on the board of education throughout his campaign.
