Selina Robinson
Selina Mae Robinson (born 1964) is a Canadian politician, who was elected to the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia in the 2013 provincial election. She represents the electoral district of Coquitlam-Maillardville as a member of the British Columbia New Democratic Party. She was initially declared defeated on election night, with the riding deemed to have been won by Steve Kim of the BC Liberals. However, once absentee ballots were counted, she pulled ahead to win the riding by a 35-vote margin over Kim. A judicial recount confirmed Robinson's victory by a final margin of 41  votes. Robinson was re-elected by a wide margin in the 2017 provincial election, and was subsequently appointed Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing in the new BC NDP government. Prior to her election to the legislature, Robinson was a member of Coquitlam City Council. On November 26, 2020 she was appointed Minister of Finance.
