B.C. Conservative strategist Angelo Isidorou gets key post in Doerkson’s office

VICTORIA — One of the architects of the rise of the British Columbia Conservatives from political obscurity to power in the province has been named to a senior position in premier-designate Lorne Doerkson’s office.

Angelo Isidorou, who has previously been the Conservatives’ executive director and campaign manager, has been named Doerkson’s principal secretary.

Allie Blades has been named deputy chief of staff and Shane Mills appointed as executive director of communications, while Dimitri Pantazopoulos was last week appointed chief of staff.

The appointments are expected to take effect when Doerkson is sworn in as premier later this month.
