Your MLAs and MPs

Prince George residents are represented by three levels of government. This page covers the provincial (MLAs) and federal (MPs) levels. For local government, see city council and regional district.

Provincial: BC Legislature

Election under way. On September 22, 2026, Premier David Eby called a snap election, and the writs were issued for BC’s 44th general election. The Legislature is dissolved during the campaign. Voting day is Saturday, October 24, 2026. Nominations close at 1 p.m. on October 3, and Elections BC will then post the final candidate list.

Prince George’s three ridings

Riding	Elected October 2024	Notes
Prince George-Mackenzie	Kiel Giddens (BC Conservative)	Includes northern parts of the city and extends to Mackenzie
Prince George-North Cariboo	Sheldon Clare (BC Conservative)	First contested in 2024 after redistribution
Prince George-Valemount	Rosalyn Bird (BC Conservative)	Includes the southeastern part of the city and the Robson Valley

Party standings shifted during 2026. Rosalyn Bird left the Conservative caucus in August 2026 and briefly sat as an Independent and then with CentreBC, before rejoining the BC Conservative caucus on September 22, 2026, according to local reporting. All three, Giddens, Clare and Bird, have been reported as running again as BC Conservatives. Check Elections BC’s official candidate list after October 3 for who’s on your ballot.

What your MLA handles

Provincial responsibilities include health care and hospitals (through Northern Health), K–12 education funding, post-secondary, highways (97 and 16), and housing policy and targets. The province also handles income and disability assistance, forestry, mining and natural resources, ICBC, liquor and cannabis regulation, and the laws that govern municipalities. MLAs run constituency offices that help residents with provincial programs. Contact details are on the BC Legislature’s member pages (offices may run differently during the campaign).

Federal: House of Commons

Prince George’s ridings

Riding	MP	Party	First elected
Cariboo—Prince George—Omineca (until Sept. 2026: Cariboo—Prince George)	Todd Doherty	Conservative	2015; re-elected April 28, 2025
Prince George—Peace River—Northern Rockies	Bob Zimmer	Conservative	Re-elected 2025

• Cariboo—Prince George—Omineca covers most of the city, plus Vanderhoof, Quesnel, Williams Lake, 100 Mile House and the Chilcotin. In September 2026, the riding’s name changed from Cariboo—Prince George to Cariboo—Prince George—Omineca under Bill C-25 (the House of Commons member pages use the new name), to better reflect the Vanderhoof area. The boundaries didn’t change.
• Prince George—Peace River—Northern Rockies includes the part of Prince George north of the Nechako River and east of the Fraser, plus the Peace region.

Conservatives have won both ridings at every election since they were first contested in 2015. In 2025 Doherty took 60.3% and Zimmer 71.1% of the vote. Full results are on our election results page.

What your MP handles

Federal responsibilities include immigration and citizenship, Employment Insurance, the Canada Pension Plan and Old Age Security, income tax (CRA), passports, national defence, Indigenous–Crown relations, fisheries, rail and airports, and federal infrastructure funding.
