Bailey, who was diagnosed with cancer earlier this summer, said she is now “cancer-free” but that the experience has caused her to focus on family and recovery instead of running in the election. She noted that she will still campaign on behalf of the B.C. NDP in the lead-up to the Oct. 24 election.
