HEPNER WINS; SURREY FIRST SWEEPS COUNCIL
▶ ‘SURREY HAS SPOKEN LOUD AND CLEAR’ KEVIN DIAKIW
Linda Hepner is Surrey’s next mayor and her Surrey First team has swept Surrey council. Hepner received 50,782 votes, almost doubling those garnered by former Mayor Doug McCallum, who took 27,982 votes.
Barinder Rasode came in just behind McCallum with 21,764 people voting for her. Surrey First also had a lock on all council seats, putting a spread of more than 7,000 votes between them and their nearest competitors. “Surrey has spoken loud and clear,” Hepner told the crowd of more than 400 gathered at
the Central City Brew Pub on Saturday night after the polls closed. “They want us to go forward, not back.” Hepner told The Leader she was delighted, but not surprised. This, she said, is what the coalition’s polling had been telling them all along. continued on page 7
Surrey Mayor Elect Linda Hepner celebrates her win Saturday night as outgoing mayor Dianne Watts looks on. Hepner garnered more votes than her two main challengers – Doug McCallum and Barinder Rasode – combined and her 21,389-vote margin of victory over McCallum is the largest of any mayor in the province.
