Dan Coulter (born 1975) is a Canadian politician who was elected to the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia in the 2020 British Columbia general election. He represents the electoral district of Chilliwack as a member of the British Columbia New Democratic Party caucus.[1] He defeated the two-term incumbent John Martin; prior to the 2020 election, Chilliwack had been considered a BC Liberal stronghold.[2]
In addition to serving as MLA for Chilliwack, Coulter is Minister of State for Infrastructure and Transit, working within the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure in the Eby ministry.
Coulter was previously Parliamentary Secretary for Accessibility [3] under the Ministry of Social Development and Poverty Reduction in the Horgan ministry, where his mandate included consulting with advocates, communities and businesses to ensure that the new Accessible British Columbia Act would be effective and well understood and working with the Attorney General and Minister responsible for Housing to work on BC Building Code changes to make new buildings more accessible.[4]
