Member of Legislative Assembly[]
On account of the realignment of electoral boundaries, most incumbents did not represent the entirety of their listed district during the preceding legislative term. John van Dongen, British Columbia Liberal Party was initially elected during a 1995 election to the Abbotsford-Clayburn riding and has represented them until 2013. He unsuccessfully ran for re-election in the newly created riding of Abbotsford South and lost to Darryl Plecas.
