OneBC candidate for MLA in Kelowna-Lake Country-Coldstream. She won the BC Conservative nomination in Kelowna-Mission in February 2024, and that party removed her in August 2024.
Alexandra Wright is the OneBC candidate in Kelowna-Lake Country-Coldstream, one of four names on Elections BC's list stamped 7:00 PM PT on October 3, 2026, after nominations closed at 1 p.m. Her OneBC page says she is a lawyer with a Juris Doctor from UCLA who built a career as a legal advisor in the energy sector, runs a supply chain consulting firm with her husband and lives on a family farm in Ellison. News reports from 2024 and 2026 say the BC Conservatives removed her as their Kelowna-Mission candidate on August 9, 2024, that she sued the party and that she ended the lawsuit on November 19, 2024. She has said she was not told of specific failures. The party has said it removed her for campaign performance and conduct. She has stated no policy of her own that voche.me found, so the commitments listed on this page are OneBC's.

A researched record of Alexandra Wright's candidacy in Kelowna-Lake Country-Coldstream. Elections BC lists her with the affiliation OneBC. Her OneBC candidate page is the campaign's own account, so its claims about her education and work are attributed to the campaign. News reports from 2024 and 2026 supply the record of her removal as a BC Conservative candidate and of her lawsuit, with the claims of each side kept apart. She has stated no policy of her own in the sources found, so the commitments below are OneBC's priorities page items.

Elections BC lists Alexandra Wright as the OneBC candidate in Kelowna-Lake Country-Coldstream. On the copy of the list stamped October 3, 2026 7:00:07 PM, which is after nominations closed at 1 p.m. that day, the district shows four candidates: Binny Boparai (BC NDP), Carter Mochinski (BC Green Party), Pavneet Singh (Conservative Party) and Alexandra Wright (OneBC). West K News reported on October 1, 2026 that the district's previous MLA, Tara Armstrong, was elected for the Conservatives in 2024, later joined OneBC, and then became an Independent.
Her OneBC candidate page says she is a first-generation Canadian who earned a BA in Anthropology from the University of Calgary and a Juris Doctor from UCLA School of Law, practised law for several years, and then worked as a legal advisor in the energy sector. It says that in 2013 she and her husband, John, incorporated a supply chain consulting firm, and that the family also runs a farm in Ellison. voche.me has not checked her degrees, her law practice or her business with a school, a law society or a registry. Vernon Matters and West K News repeat parts of this in their reports of her OneBC nomination, and West K News calls her a lawyer. Those reports do not say they checked it.
Global News reported on March 19, 2024 that Alexandra Wright, who owns Sweet Cherry Stables in Ellison, had started a petition against Sandher Fruit Packers, a nearby plant that had applied to discharge wastewater. The report says the Ministry of Environment had fined the company $32,000 in 2022 for violating waste discharge rules. CBC News reported in September 2024 that court documents in her lawsuit describe a community meeting she held at her barn in Ellison in March 2024 about the same plant. Her OneBC page says that over the past years she led rallies and campaigns in her region to oppose unlawful dumping, protect waterways and oppose irresponsible development.
West K News reported on October 1, 2026 that she won the BC Conservative nomination in Kelowna-Mission in February 2024 and that the party announced her removal on X on August 9, 2024. The party's post said the decision followed "careful consideration of various factors related to campaign performance and conduct." She told Black Press Media that she was told she was being removed for performance and conduct but was given no examples. She said the party leader at the time, John Rustad, had earlier asked her to move to the Vernon-Lumby riding and had offered her $20,000. The Conservatives denied her allegations. A party spokesperson told Postmedia that she "was not performing as a candidate." These are claims by her and by the party. No court or regulator has decided any of them.
She sued the BC Conservative Party in the Supreme Court of British Columbia in September 2024. West K News reports that she ended the suit with a notice of discontinuance (a filing by which the person who sued ends the claim) on November 19, 2024. The same report says that over recent months she posted support for OneBC, for Dallas Brodie as premier, for Ron Cannan for Kelowna mayor and for Chris Bocskei for Kelowna city council, and that she is one of five Kelowna residents who filed a petition in the Supreme Court of British Columbia against the City of Kelowna over the land use change for the Kelowna Springs Golf Course site.

No public office is on record for her. The public record found concerns her 2024 candidacy for the BC Conservatives in Kelowna-Mission, her removal by that party, and her civil lawsuit against it, which West K News reports she ended on November 19, 2024. Each claim in those reports is attributed to the person or party who made it, and no court or regulator decided any of them.

Global News reported on August 9, 2024 that the Conservative Party of BC removed Alexandra Wright as its Kelowna-Mission candidate, with a social media post citing "careful consideration of various factors related to campaign performance and conduct." CBC News reported that, according to her court claim, the party's executive director told her by phone on August 8 that the reasons were conduct violations surrounding discipline, performance concerns and conflict with the fruit-packing industry. She said she believes the removal followed her refusal to move to Vernon-Lumby and her opposition to Sandher Fruit Packers.
Party spokesperson Anthony Koch told Postmedia: "Simply, she was not performing as a candidate." He said she was not out in the community building relationships, fundraising or door-knocking. Peter Fassbender, a spokesperson for Sandher Fruit Packers, told CBC News the company had no influence on the party's decision.
No court or regulator decided the reasons for the removal. Gavin Dew replaced her as the party's Kelowna-Mission candidate, according to CBC News.
The Vancouver Sun reported on August 16, 2024 that she said John Rustad, then the Conservative leader, offered her $20,000 from the central campaign in mid-July 2024 if she moved from Kelowna-Mission to Vernon-Lumby. The same report quotes Elections BC as saying the Election Act does not prohibit a party from transferring money to a candidate as an incentive to switch ridings.
Koch said the offer was about supporting her and the local campaign, and was a transfer from the central campaign to the Vernon-Lumby team for costs such as printing and lawn signs.
The report describes a disagreement over what the money was for. It records no finding by a court or regulator that anyone broke a rule.
CBC News reported on September 13, 2024 that she sued the party in the Supreme Court of British Columbia, claiming among other things breach of contract and defamation and seeking more than $800,000 in damages and a retraction of the party's statements about her removal. CBC News noted that her allegations had not been proven in court. West K News reports the suit also asked for her reinstatement as the candidate.
The party's executive director, Angelo Isidorou, told CBC News the party had not yet been served and could not comment.
West K News reports that on November 19, 2024, a month after the 2024 provincial election, she filed a notice of discontinuance, which is a filing that ends a claim. voche.me did not read the court file and found no decision by a court.
