Alex is the incumbent for Secretary and was elected during the 2019 AGM internal party elections.

Hi, I'm Alex Pope. I'm asking for your vote to re-elect me to the position of Secretary of the BC Green Party Provincial Council. I'm proud of the small part I have had in our successes to date, having run as a candidate for MLA in the 2013 and 2017 elections, and in my role on Provincial Council, first as Regional Rep for Fraser Valley – Surrey, and then as Secretary. Over the next few years, we need to build our resources for election readiness. Not only to be ready for an election but to give our MLAs the leverage to push the NDP to pass better legislation. We live in a beautiful province. We want our children, and our grandchildren, to be able to continue to enjoy what our province has to offer... and to be able to afford to live here. Electing more BC Green MLAs is the best way I know of to achieve that goal. Provincial Council's role is to work towards making that happen. I'm motivated to contribute to our future success by serving on Provincial Council.
