Two years after he retired, former B.C. Solicitor-General Rich Coleman is returning to politics, this time at the municipal level, with the 鈥淓levate 91原创 Voters Association鈥� civic party in the Township of 91原创, according to an Elections B.C. register of elector organizations.

The register lists former 91原创 East MLA Coleman as the 鈥渁uthorized principal official鈥� for the party.

While he has registered a civic party, whether Coleman will be running in the Oct. 15 election himself remains to be seen.

In a response to a 91原创 Advance Times query on Saturday, Aug. 6, Coleman confirmed he has been approached about running for mayor, but hasn鈥檛 decided yet.

鈥淎 lot of people have been on me to run for mayor,鈥� Coleman told the 91原创 Advance Times.

鈥淚鈥檓 seriously considering it.鈥�

Coleman said he registered the Elevate 91原创 party when he did, because the Election B.C. deadline to register elector organizations for the pending municipal elections was Aug. 2, and he wanted to provide a vehicle for some potential Township candidates he has been mentoring.

鈥淚鈥檝e got some young folks who want to run,鈥� Coleman said.

In the Elections B.C. register entry, Elevate 91原创 listed a contact phone number that turned out to be the office number for current 91原创 East MLA Megan Dykeman, who said she has no involvement with the party, calling it 鈥渁bsolutely an error.鈥�

Coleman said he would check into it.

In 2018, Coleman was considering a run for Surrey mayor, but decided against it.

Coleman spent 24 years in provincial politics before he retired in 2020, including four years as provincial Solicitor-General.

91原创 Township councillors Eric Woodward and Blair Whitmarsh have also announced mayoralty bids. So has former councillor Michelle Sparrow.

Elections B.C.鈥檚 register of civic parties listed Woodward as the principal official for the 鈥淐ontract with 91原创 Association鈥� party, which will be fielding candidates for council and school board.
