About Nina Krieger
Nina Krieger is the BC NDP candidate in Victoria-Swan Lake on Elections BC's list for the general election of October 24, 2026. She won the district in 2024 with 14,273 votes, 56.03% of the valid vote, according to the Elections BC statement of votes. No candidate in the district that year was marked as the sitting member.
A BC NDP release of July 24, 2024 named her as the party's candidate to follow Rob Fleming, who was retiring. A government release of November 18, 2024 named her Parliamentary Secretary for Arts and Film. The legislature record shows her as Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General from July 17, 2025.
Before she ran for office she worked at the Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre. In remarks the Centre published from September 19, 2024, she said she spent 12 years as its executive director and six years as its education director.
In the legislature in 2026 she introduced Bill 8, the Civil Forfeiture Amendment Act, 2026, which passed third reading on April 1. She answered questions on extortion in Surrey, RCMP staffing, organized crime, the federal firearms buyback and FIFA World Cup security. In June 2026 she announced a provincewide program aimed at people who commit property crime again and again.
Her campaign page says she expanded training for police and started programs to fight crime and support victims. Those are the campaign's own statements.

Supervise people who repeat property crime

The release, updated August 4, 2026, gives $16 million over two years, 13 new hubs and up to 420 people supervised. Canadian Press reporting on the launch day gave 12 hubs. The release gives no start or end date beyond two years.
What still needs checking
Does the government report how many people the hubs supervise and whether their offending drops?

Evidence & next checks

Does the RCMP's own count confirm the 2,602 members are on duty?
In question period on February 25, 2026, Krieger said the government increased seats at the Justice Institute of B.C. by 50 percent, with more to come. Her May 9, 2026 statement says the Province approved the Vancouver and Victoria police departments to open temporary training sites.
Evidence & next checks

Fund the anti-gang police unit and seize the money of crime
In question period on February 26 and April 16, 2026, Krieger said the Province directs $100 million each year to the Combined Forces Special Enforcement Unit, the anti-gang police unit, and uses civil forfeiture to take the money and property of crime.

Evidence & next checks

Pay for World Cup security from the contingency fund
In the estimates debate on May 7, 2026, Krieger said a safe World Cup was a top priority and that security money would come from the Ministry of Finance's contingency vote, a reserve in the budget. In question period on April 29 she said the federal government would contribute up to $100 million.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
She did not give the total security cost. She said the Ministry of Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport would publish costs later. voche.me did not find that update.
What still needs checking
What did security for the World Cup cost the Province?
A government release on February 25, 2026 says Krieger wrote to the federal public safety minister and a Senate committee asking them to pass Bill C-12, a federal law on immigration and borders, to make it harder for people charged with extortion to avoid removal from Canada.
Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
Bill C-12 is a federal law, so the Province can only ask. voche.me did not check whether it passed.
Mental health and addiction care alongside policing
In question period on March 9, 2026, Krieger said the government has added support for addiction services and mental health care. Her May 9, 2026 statement says a mental health screening tool for police, HealthIM, will be used across the province by the end of 2026.
Evidence & next checks

The campaign page lists no events and no platform of her own, and its Latest and Events links open the party home page. Her Facebook and Instagram pages show a sign-in page, and her X page shows only its profile line, so no posts were read. That X profile line calls her a former Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General, while the government's cabinet page on 2026-09-30 still lists her in the role; voche.me did not find a source that explains the difference. The estimates debates of May 7, 19 and 20, 2026 and the Bill 16 debate were read only in part. Votes are taken from the vote index only; the transcripts of those votes were not opened. Royal assent for Bill 8 was not checked. No 2026 all-candidates meeting for Victoria-Swan Lake was found. Her work at the Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre is taken from her own remarks published by the Centre and was not checked against its annual reports. Campaign finances and endorsements were not reviewed. The questionnaire has not been sent.
