No campaign website, social media account, biography or news report naming Amanda James as the OneBC candidate was found on 2026-10-03. OneBC's candidates page lists 16 candidates and does not include her. The name search was limited because the search tool had reached its usage limit; it was run through public search pages (Bing returned only results about other subjects, DuckDuckGo showed a challenge page and returned nothing) and the Times Colonist article on OneBC's candidates could not be opened (HTTP 403). Her work history, community roles, positions on issues, endorsements and campaign finances were not found. No all-candidates meeting in the district was found. Any public record under the same name was left out because no source opened in this review ties it to the candidate.
Research status
## What voche.me has checked
Evidence reviewed on 2026-10-03: the Elections BC candidate list (it shows Amanda James in Surrey-White Rock as OneBC), OneBC's candidates, home and priorities pages, and Elections BC's key dates page.
No campaign website or social media account was found, and the name search was limited: the search tool used for earlier candidates had reached its usage limit, so the name was searched through public search pages and the sites above. Those searches returned no page about her. An empty section records what voche.me did not find on this date. The candidate may still have a page that these searches did not reach.
