Members of the Legislative Assembly

Vancouver-Fraserview is a swing riding which has consistently elected MLAs from the party that formed government since its creation in 1991, often with competitive margin.

It also served as launching pad for numerous high-profile candidates from both major parties.

Since its inception in 1991 until the 2020 re-election of George Chow, this district has never had an MLA that has served more than one term.
