Following last week鈥檚 crude and racist election sign vandalism, one particular candidate has been hit hard once again.

鈥淥ur hard-working sign crew was busy repairing more vandalized signs,鈥 Vernon-Monashee NDP candidate Harwinder Sandhu said Wednesday, Oct. 21.

More of the orange signs have been slashed, broken and ripped from the ground around the riding.

Shuswap NDP candidate Sylvia Lindgren also reports several campaign signs have recently been damaged or removed.

Some of Vernon-Monashee Green candidate Keli Westgate鈥檚 were also reported vandalized.

This week鈥檚 damage follows a particularly concerning act of vandalism Oct. 16 where Sandhu鈥檚 sign was spray-painted with a swastika, the 鈥楥-word鈥 and scribblings over an image of her face.

Voter Herbert Brown said he isn鈥檛 an NDP supporter, but he鈥檚 upset over these acts of vandalism.

鈥淭ampering with election signs is wrong no matter which party. Illegal as well and I hope the culprits are caught,鈥 Brown said in response to a Facebook post.
