## 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.

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.

Research status

## What voche.me has checked

Evidence reviewed on 2026-09-30: the Elections BC candidate list and 2024 statement of votes, the legislature's 2026 speech and vote indexes, 14 transcripts from 2026 where she spoke, nine government pages and releases, her campaign page, the BC NDP platform page and releases page, and news reports from 2025 and 2026.

Her commitments on this page come from what she said in the legislature and in government releases in 2026. Her campaign page states no measures of its own. Sections with no entry record that voche.me found nothing on this date.
