Controversy

On March 18, Mark (son of incumbent Conservative MP Chuck Strahl) was nominated as the candidate in his father's riding of Chilliwack—Fraser Canyon. The nomination process, which is usually four weeks, lasted only a week. During the nomination Mark was endorsed by Preston Manning, who said "Mark Strahl – by virtue of his family background... is well prepared for service in the House of Commons." This was criticized by members of the Conservative party: former Chilliwack city councillor Casey Langbroek said most Conservative party members from the riding were upset, and Alex Moens said "High public office should not be like a family business, where it's passed on from father to son."[2][3]

Life

Strahl first became involved in public service at a young age, eventually becoming a Parliamentary intern in Ottawa. There he worked with Preston Manning's office, and was Parliamentary Assistant to MP Grant McNally. He then moved back to British Columbia and worked as the Executive Assistant to MP Randy Kamp (Pitt Meadows—Maple Ridge—Mission).

Born and raised in Chilliwack, he and his wife have been married for 12 years. They have one son.
