Former Peace River North MLA Dan Davies is considering a run as a Conservative candidate in the next election, though nothing is confirmed.
A Fort St. John native and now a lobbyist, Davies previously served with the BC United party before running unsuccessfully as an independent in the 2024 provincial election, losing to then-Conservative Jordan Kealy.
Kealy later left the party in March 2025 following controversy over comments by MLA Dallas Brodie about residential schools.
The Conservative Party of B.C. is currently without a leader after John Rustad resigned under pressure from his caucus.
While Davies has spoken with Rustad and party staff about a possible return, he says the party isn’t ready to decide and that leadership remains the bigger question. He’s expressed interest in running but hasn’t backed anyone in the leadership race.
For now, Davies says he’s focused on building his business, though he’s never ruled out returning to politics.
So far, only Yuri Fulmer has announced a bid for the leadership, with a planned stop in Fort St. John on January 12.
