Member of Legislative Assembly

On account of the realignment of electoral boundaries, most incumbents did not represent the entirety of their listed district during the preceding legislative term. Dave Hayer, British Columbia Liberal Party (BC Liberals) was initially elected during the 2001 election and 2005 election to the Surrey-Tynehead riding.^[1] Jagrup Brar of the New Democrats was elected in the 2009 election in this newly re-districted riding. Brar lost the seat to Peter Fassbender of the BC Liberals in the 2013 election, but won it back in the 2017 election.
