Economy Will Be ‘Front and Centre’ for B.C. Conservatives, Adviser Says
The appointment adds a veteran strategist who helped drive the party’s rise from less than 2% of the vote in 2020 to 64 seats.
- On Monday, Premier-designate Lorne Doerkson announced senior leadership appointments, naming Angelo Isidorou as principal secretary alongside new roles for Allie Blades and Shane Mills.
- Isidorou helped engineer the rise of the British Columbia Conservatives under John Rustad, taking the party from less than two per cent of the vote in 2020 to official opposition status four years later.
- Allie Blades, formerly chief of staff to interim leader Trevor Halford, joins as deputy chief of staff, while Shane Mills takes executive director of communications; Dimitri Pantazopoulos was last week appointed chief of staff.
- Kim Henderson, the former public service chief for Christy Clark, leads the transition team, which aims to focus on delivering on commitments made to British Columbians, according to Doerkson.
- The appointments will officially take effect when Doerkson and his cabinet are sworn in on November 20, following the Conservatives' decisive 64-seat victory in October's election.
