Premier-designate Horgan has revealed who key members of his staff team will be. They include a Vancouver city councillor, and a former deputy minister in previous Liberal governments.
Former BCIT President and Central 1 Credit Union CEO Don Wright will serve as Deputy Minister of Executive Council, Cabinet Secretary, and Head of the Public Service.
Three-term Vancouver City Councillor Geoff Meggs will serve as Chief of Staff to the Premier.
Outgoing Chief of Staff and BC NDP Campaign Director Bob Dewar will stay on as Special Advisor to the Premier.
Victoria-Beacon Hill MLA and Spokesperson for Transition Carole James said the quick appointments indicate Horgan's commitment to getting to work right away, adding by bringing in experienced leaders from both the public and private sectors, John Horgan is putting together a team with the diverse skills and backgrounds needed to make life better for regular British Columbians.
Wright is resigning as CEO from Central 1 effective July 7.
Meggs has resigned from his position on Vancouver City Council to devote his time fully to working with the New Democrat government.
