Biography
Bryce Tippe was born and raised in Revelstoke, British Columbia, and spent his adulthood living in communities across the Interior and Lower Mainland, giving him a deep appreciation for the diversity of experiences and challenges faced by British Columbians.
Growing up, Bryce faced severe discrimination, leading to a personal battle with depression and anxiety during his early 20s—a struggle he nearly lost. Yet, he chose to take these negative experiences and use them as fuel for more positive ends. Inspired to become the person he needed in his youth, Bryce committed himself to reducing unnecessary suffering and leaving a positive mark on the world.
He believed that real change began with quality legislation and became increasingly frustrated with the apparent disconnect between those in power and the general public. Tired of the status quo, he decided to return to school to study political science, hoping to gain the expertise to make a meaningful impact. Bryce became the first person in his family to attend university, and his passion, insight, and leadership were quickly recognized by his instructors. His drive to speak up and contribute meaningfully made him stand out.
Now a recent graduate, Bryce is running as a candidate for Kelowna Centre with the BC Green Party. A testament to his dedication to improving Kelowna, he is balancing his campaign while working a full-time graveyard job. Though his team is much more grassroots and limited in resources than his fellow candidates, Bryce is determined to bring his tenacity, insight, and vision to provincial politics for a more accountable and transparent British Columbia.
Reason for running
Regardless of party or ideology, the quality of effective policy implementation has significantly decreased over the past few decades. People have lost faith in political parties, politicians, and their governments. This is largely due to politicians acting in bad faith, prioritizing staying in power above all else. In a democracy, this is achieved through reelection and campaigning, so parties have chosen to favor actions that yield immediate results, even for issues that require long-term solutions.
Politicians consistently over-promise, under-deliver, and outright lie when it suits their needs. As a strong believer in representative democracy, I find this infuriating. I believe that those in power should be held to a higher standard than those they govern. I also believe we can successfully restructure government to be more transparent and accountable to the public, forcing politicians to act in good faith. We face monumental challenges in the coming decades, and it is essential that we have a robust, adaptive, and responsive democracy to weather the storm. This is why I have chosen to dedicate my life to politics—so we can have a government that truly represents us.
