She was elected on February 2, 2016 in a by-election, winning with 61% of the vote and defeating BC Liberal Party candidate Gavin Dew and Green Party of British Columbia candidate Pete Fry.[1] She campaigned on providing better assistance for low-income people, the lack of affordable housing, the precarious job market, and rising tuition, medical-services, and B.C. Hydro fees.[2] She developed a grassroots campaign based on working on issues of social justice.[3] Before the start of schools in the fall of 2017, the government announced free post-secondary tuition for children in care and eliminated fees for adult basic education and English language learning programs.[4] BiographyBorn of Nisga'a, Gitxsan, Cree, and Ojibway ancestry, Mark was raised in Vancouver's Downtown Eastside neighbourhood in difficult circumstances. She credits her grandparents with helping her get through the early death of her father from an overdose and dealing with her mother's addiction to drugs. She states her childhood as example of lack of appropriate support for indigenous people because she was sexually assaulted three times before 10 years of age, her brother was killed by a car collision when she was a teenager, she had kick-fighting incidents outside of her school, and was moved by Ministry of Children, Family Development to another family, out from her mother and not to her grandparents.[5] She earned a degree in political science at Simon Fraser University (SFU) after attending several different schools, including Van Tech,[6] Douglas College, Native Education College, Queen's School of Business. She worked with the Native Court Workers’ Association, Covenant House, the RCMP in Hazelton as a summer student, and as the national aboriginal project coordinator for Save the Children Canada’s Sacred Lives Project.[6] Mark attended local schools. She became active in First Nations issues, particularly for those living in cities. She served for six years as the president of the Urban Native Youth Association. Mark worked for eight years in the Office of the Representative for Children and Youth, and was promoted to deputy representative to Mary Ellen Turpel-Lafond.[2] In 2006, received the YWCA Vancouver Young Woman of Distinction Award. In 2015, she received the Chief Joe Mathias Leadership Award from the Native Education College. In January 2018, six days after the proposal, she married Cassidy Kannemeyer, a basketball coach for Capilano University.[7] She is the first indigenous woman elected to the legislature of British Columbia.[3] Electoral record{{British Columbia provincial election, 2017/Vancouver-Mount Pleasant}}References1. ^{{cite news|title=B.C.
