The first-term Green Party MLA is running to be the next leader of the party. She is the first person to have declared an interest in replacing former leader Andrew Weaver, who is now an independent MLA.

“Leadership should be in its essence inclusive. It should be about building up and not tearing down. We are inviting people in,” Furstenau said.

“We are setting up a grassroots campaign that will allow us to break through in the next election.”
