Member 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.
- 1996 - Ian Waddell, former MP for Vancouver Kingsway 1979-1988 (when it covered a significant portion of the riding) and Port Moody—Coquitlam—Port Coquitlam 1988-93, candidate in the 1989 federal NDP leadership contest. Subsequently appointed by Premier Glen Clark as Minister of Small Business, Tourism and Culture, with responsibility of the successful 2010 Winter Olympic bid, and by Premier Ujjal Dosanjh as Minister of Environment, Lands and Parks.
- 2005 - Wally Oppal, prominent justice of the British Columbia Court of Appeal, former lead commissioner of inquiry into policing in British Columbia. Appointed Attorney General immediately after election by Premier Gordon Campbell
- 2009 - Kash Heed, first Indo-Canadian police chief in Canada, former superintendent of the Vancouver Police Department and chief constable of the West Vancouver Police Department. Appointed Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General immediately after election by Campbell
- 2013 – Suzanne Anton, 2011 Non-Partisan Association's candidate for Mayor of Vancouver, former Vancouver Councillor and Park Board Commissioner. Appointed Attorney General immediately after election by Premier Christy Clark
- 2017 – George Chow, former Vancouver Councillor and Park Board Commissioner. Appointed Minister of State for Trade immediately after election by Premier John Horgan
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.
