Olsen was surprised at the local result.
"I thought it would be a closer race here. I was surprised at the outcome. We ran a really good campaign and we worked really hard to identify and get the vote out."
Scott Anderson of the BC Conservatives had 11.9% of the votes, Rebecca Helps of the Greens 6.7% and independent Korry Zepik had 155 votes (0.64%).
