Nelson physician running as independent
Jim Wiedrick, a Nelson-based emergency room physician, has announced his candidacy as an independent for the Columbia—Kootenay—Southern Rockies riding in the 2025 Canadian federal election.
Wiedrick is running on a platform of representative democracy, focusing on people’s daily needs—particularly accessible healthcare and affordability.
“The system prioritizes party leaders and insiders, leaving everyday people without a real voice. I want to change this,” said Wiedrick.
With years of experience making critical decisions under pressure, Wiedrick aims to bring a practical, community-driven approach to Parliament—one that puts the interests of Columbia—Kootenay—Southern Rockies residents first, free from party influence.
The federal election is April 28.
