Political Career
Weisgerber was first elected to the British Columbia legislature in 1986 as a Social Credit Party of British Columbia candidate for Peace River South. The British Columbia general election of 1986 was the 34th general election in the Province of British Columbia, Canada. The British Columbia Social Credit Party, whose members are known as Socreds, was the governing Political party of British Columbia, Canada Peace River South is a provincial Electoral district for the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia, Canada. He served in the Social Credit government in several posts including Minister of State for the Northeast and Nechako, Minister of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources, and as British Columbia's first Minister of Native Affairs.
When Social Credit was soundly defeated in 1991, Weisgerber was one of only seven Socred candidates to win re-election. The British Columbia general election of 1991 was the 35th provincial election in the Province of British Columbia, Canada. Weisgerber became interim leader of the party.
In 1994, after failed attempts to revive the party, Weisgerber became one of four Social Credit members of the legislature to switch allegiances, joining the fledgling Reform Party of British Columbia. Year 1994 ( MCMXCIV) was a Common year starting on Saturday (link will display full 1994 Gregorian calendar) The Reform Party of British Columbia ( Reform BC) is a populist Right wing Political party in British Columbia, Canada BC Reform, as it was known, espoused similar policies to the Reform Party of Canada, but was a separate entity. The Reform Party of Canada ( Parti réformiste du Canada) was a Canadian federal Political party that existed from 1987 to 2000
Weisgerber ran for the BC Reform leadership and was elected party leader in late 1994. Through 1995 and in the months before the 1996 election, Weisgerber faced challenges by some members of his party from southern Vancouver Island.
In the May 1996 election, the BC Reform Party won nine percent of the popular vote and two seats in the legislature, one of which was Weisgerber's in Peace River South. However, the party failed to win the four seats required for official party status in the British Columbia legislature. A split in the centre-right vote between Weisgerber's BC Reform Party and Gordon Campbell's Liberals is cited as a factor for the New Democratic Party winning the 1996 BC election.
Weisgerber resigned as BC Reform's leader in late 1996, and was replaced by Wilf Hanni in September of 1997. Wilf Hanni is a politician and oil industry consultant in British Columbia, Canada. Year 1997 ( MCMXCVII) was a Common year starting on Wednesday (link will display full 1997 Gregorian calendar Following a bruising round of party in-fighting, Weisgerber left Reform to sit as an independent member of the BC legislature.
Weisgerber served out his third and final term in the BC legislature. Shortly before the 2001 provincial election, Weisgerber endorsed the BC Liberals and their leader, Gordon Campbell. The British Columbia general election of 2001 was the 37th provincial election in the Province of British Columbia, Canada.
