Biography
Conrad King is an educator and public policy researcher. He received his PhD in Political Science from the University of British Columbia, and returned to be a lecturer at UBC after more than a decade as faculty at KPU and Capilano University. At these institutions, Conrad was actively involved in university governance, including serving as Chair of Political Science at Capilano University. Conrad’s public policy expertise and leadership experience will be instrumental if elected by the people of White Rock.
Conrad moved to White Rock with his family in 2021 just after his son was born. He fell in love with White Rock, even persuading his mother to move here. Conrad is dedicated to fostering connections and community growth. As an educator, he has learned the importance of listening, collaborating, and planning for the future. Conrad is deeply committed to moving White Rock forward, together.
Reason for running
Within the first year, we conduct a core review of essential municipal functions and hire a Chief Administrative Office that reflects a culture of listening (to citizens) and collaboration (between Council and city staff). Beyond this, I seek more deliberative democracy, such as hosting periodic town halls, and implementation of ‘Open Book’, a civic infrastructure software that secures transparency and public input.
