Doug Clovechok is a Canadian politician, who was elected to the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia in the 2017 provincial election.[1] He represents the electoral district of Columbia River-Revelstoke as a member of the BC United caucus.[1] In Opposition, he has served as the Whip of the Official Opposition as well as the critic for Columbia Basin Initiatives and the critic for Tourism, Arts and Culture. On February 24, 2024, he announced he would not be seeking a third term in the Legislature.
Clovechok had previously run in 2013 in the same riding but was unsuccessful against incumbent Norm Macdonald. In his second attempt in 2017, he was elected over Gerry Taft in what was considered somewhat of an upset. The loss was attributed to a defamation suit that Taft lost during the middle of the campaign.[1]
Prior to his election, he was a high school teacher with the Calgary Board of Education. He served for 20 years as the CEO of the Calgary Education Partnership Foundation. He was the Campus Manager of the College of the Rockies at Invermere.[2]
