Running as an independent candidate has its advantages, according to Brian Thiesen, a relative newcomer to the Central Okanagan, who is running in the BC election in Kelowna West.

Those advantages include standing on his own, away from party politics, said the entrepreneur.

He also pointed to the provincial debt as something that is causing problems with the economy.

Thiesen moved to West Kelowna two years ago with his family for a variety of reasons, one of which he said was the May 9th election. His past includes public speaking and producing videos, two skills he plans to utilize in the election campaign, saying he will use video to spread his message.
