01 / Introduction
## About Kelsey Pringle
Elections BC lists Kelsey Pringle as the Conservative Party of BC candidate in Nanaimo-Lantzville. The party's team page lists her as its candidate for the district.
She was not a candidate in the 2024 provincial election. In Nanaimo-Lantzville that year, George Anderson of the BC NDP won with 15,307 votes (51.75 percent), according to the statement of votes. He is the district's current MLA.
The Vancouver Island Economic Alliance, a regional business group, lists her on its board of directors as owner of Motivation Monday Marketing and co-founder of EMPOWER Women Canada, based in Nanaimo. The group named her to its 2025 to 2026 board in June 2025. Her campaign says she co-founded and owns Motivation Monday Marketing, a digital marketing business.
In the 2025 federal election she was campaign manager for Kris McNichol, the Conservative Party of Canada candidate in Courtenay-Alberni, according to the Times Colonist. Her campaign site also says she has been a board member of the Courtenay-Alberni Conservative Association; voche.me has not found that role in a record from the association.
voche.me has not contacted the campaign. The commitments below come from her campaign website and her page on the party's site.

## Policies, budgets & programs
Her past roles come from the Vancouver Island Economic Alliance, the Times Colonist and her campaign. None is a public office, so no dated action earns a score.

### Named to the Vancouver Island Economic Alliance board
The Vancouver Island Economic Alliance named her a director on its 2025 to 2026 board, and its board page still lists her.
Scope, limits and sources
A board seat with a regional business group is a role, so this entry earns no score.

Times Colonist · April 28, 2025
No news report about her 2026 candidacy was found on 2026-09-30. Her campaign website lists no social media account in her name, and search found none, so no post is used. Her campaign site says she has been a board member of the Courtenay-Alberni Conservative Association; the association's board page names only four officers and does not name her, so the role is not confirmed. EMPOWER Women Canada's website did not answer on 2026-09-30, so her role there rests on her campaign and on the Vancouver Island Economic Alliance. The founding year of Motivation Monday Marketing and her ten years in business are her campaign's account. The party's candidate page labels her "Interim Conservative Party Leader"; the party's own team page lists her only as the Nanaimo-Lantzville candidate, so voche.me does not repeat that label. No all-candidates meeting in the district for 2026 was found. Her campaign finances and endorsements were not found on this date.
Research status
## What voche.me has checked

Her commitments come from her campaign website, where most of them are one-line statements with no cost, number or date. No news report about her 2026 candidacy and no public social media account in her name were found. An empty section records what voche.me did not find on this date.
