Ousted Liberal hopeful denies misrepresenting resume

A two-time former Liberal candidate disqualified from a nomination race in British Columbia is rejecting allegations she “misrepresented” her resume in her candidacy application.

Wendy Yuan received word late last week that she had been barred from running in the new Vancouver-area federal riding of Steveston-Richmond East, prompting all but one of the district’s Liberal constituency association executives to step down in protest. The lone executive not to follow suit was reported to be on vacation.

Yuan denied misrepresenting any information in her application.“I was green-lit twice, don’t forget — everything was the same, nothing differed,” she said in an interview on Wednesday. “My life is an open book. I’ve run for public office three times.”
