Her campaign page states no measures of its own, and its event search showed no events. Her X and Facebook pages show a sign-in page, so nothing from them is used. The Attorney General estimates debates (March 2026), the Bill 16 and Bill 6 committee debates, and her answers on foreign interference (May 5), the Tumbler Ridge inquiry and the Quest University investigation were not read line by line. Votes are taken from the vote index only; the transcripts of those votes were not opened. The district she won in 2020 is not in the legislature data, and the 2020 statement of votes was not found at the addresses tried. Her campaign page says she has been MLA for Vancouver-Hastings since 2021; that is the campaign's statement and was not checked. Her work as a lawyer before 2020, described in a 2024 party release, was not checked against an independent source.
