01 / Introduction
About Darryl Kropp
Elections BC lists Darryl Kropp as the Conservative Party candidate in Abbotsford-Mission. The list stamped October 1, 2026 11:00:06 PM shows two accepted nominations in the district: Pam Alexis of the BC NDP and Darryl Kropp. Nominations close at 1 p.m. on October 3, 2026, so more candidates may be added. Abbotsford News reports that CentreBC has named Lakhwinder Jhaj and the Libertarian Party of BC has named Jeff Monds.
The party named him on September 26, 2026. The Western Standard reports that the party’s account on X posted his name at 4:56 p.m. Pacific time that day. Abbotsford News and Fraser Valley Today report that Reann Gasper, who won the seat in 2024, had said two days earlier that she would seek the party’s nomination, and that the party chose Kropp.
Abbotsford News reports that Gasper resigned as MLA in August 2026 so that former party leader Kerry-Lynne Findlay could run in a byelection, and that the byelection was cancelled when the legislature was dissolved for the general election. In 2024 Gasper won the district with 13,523 votes (55.38 percent), and Pam Alexis of the BC NDP received 10,894 (44.62 percent), according to Elections BC’s statement of votes. voche.me searched the whole statement for the name Kropp on 2026-10-02 and found no match.
The party says he has lived in Abbotsford for more than 25 years. It says he built a management system at Cascade Aerospace in Abbotsford, and that he now leads large human services technology projects at RedMane Technology, including child welfare systems for Indigenous communities. voche.me has not checked these statements with the employers.
First West Credit Union’s page on its 2023 board election says he was elected to its board in 2018. The page says he was declared elected again in 2023, with no vote needed, for a three-year term ending in 2026. It lists him as Global Practice Lead at RedMane Technology in Abbotsford, and as vice-chair of two board committees. The party says he also chaired the board’s Governance and Nominations Committee and helped guide First West into Tru Cooperative Bank. voche.me has not confirmed those two statements with the credit union.
The party says he has served on the board of Northview Community Church for 17 years, 11 of them as chair. Northview’s own page lists him among its elders, on the Governance Committee. First West’s page says he completed the Directors Education Program at the University of Toronto’s Rotman School and received the ICD.D designation in April 2023. The party also says he was class valedictorian there and holds Lean Black Belt and Project Management Professional certificates. voche.me has not checked these with the issuing bodies.
voche.me found no interview, speech or post in his own words on policy on 2026-10-02. His campaign site, darrylkropp.ca, is a volunteer sign-up page. voche.me has not contacted the campaign.

Party chooses Kropp in Abbotsford-Mission
Reports that the party named him as its candidate and that Reann Gasper will not be the candidate. Most of the report repeats the party’s biography of him. It carries no quote from him.
Campaign diary that records the party’s account on X naming him as the Abbotsford-Mission candidate at 4:56 p.m. Pacific time on September 26, 2026. It carries no quote from him.
Lists the four candidates named by their parties for Abbotsford-Mission and quotes the party’s description of him. It quotes Pam Alexis and Reann Gasper, and carries no quote from Kropp.
Sources checked October 2, 2026. Official records establish decisions; campaign material establishes stated positions; reporting adds investigation and context. None alone establishes every claim.
No statement on policy in his own words was found on 2026-10-02. His campaign site, darrylkropp.ca, is a volunteer sign-up page with no policy text; it was read from the site’s script file, because the page has no text in its HTML. The party’s candidate page holds a biography and an empty news box, and labels him "Interim Conservative Party Leader". The party’s own team page names Lorne Doerkson as leader and lists Kropp only as the Abbotsford-Mission candidate, so voche.me does not repeat that label. The page also spells his first name "Daryl" once; this page uses the Elections BC spelling. An Instagram account named darrylkropp showed only a sign-in page, and no page read ties it to this candidacy, so nothing from it is used. A Facebook address, DarrylKroppBC, showed only a sign-in page. No X account for him was found. A LinkedIn profile under his name returned HTTP 999 to direct requests and could not be read. First West Credit Union’s 2023 election page was read through an Internet Archive copy of July 13, 2025, because the live page returns HTTP 404. voche.me did not find a First West page from 2026 showing whether he still sits on the board. The party’s statements that he chaired the Governance and Nominations Committee and helped guide First West into Tru Cooperative Bank were not confirmed with the credit union. His work at Cascade Aerospace and RedMane Technology, his 17 years on the Northview Community Church board and 11 years as chair, his class valedictorian title and his Lean Black Belt and Project Management Professional certificates are stated by the party; voche.me has not checked them with the employers, the church, the school or the issuing bodies. Abbotsford News reports that CentreBC and the Libertarian Party of BC have named candidates in the district. Neither is on the Elections BC list stamped October 1, 2026 11:00:06 PM, and nominations close October 3, 2026. All-candidates meetings in Abbotsford-Mission for the general election, campaign finances and endorsements were not found on this date. The questionnaire has not been sent.
