01 / Introduction
About Pat McCutcheon
Elections BC lists Pat McCutcheon as the BC Green Party candidate in Surrey-Cloverdale. On the copy of the list stamped 10:00 p.m. Pacific time on October 1, 2026, the only other accepted candidate in the district is Stephen Dooley of the BC NDP. The Cloverdale Reporter wrote on September 29, 2026 that the Conservative Party had named Nicholas Cartmell as its candidate in the district. That name was not on the copy of the list voche.me read. Nominations close at 1 p.m. on October 3, 2026.
Elections BC's 2024 statement of votes gives a Pat McCutcheon of the BC Green Party 1,150 votes (5.41 percent) in Surrey-Cloverdale. Elenore Sturko of the Conservative Party won the district with 10,268 votes (48.31 percent). Mike Starchuk of the BC NDP had 9,682 votes (45.56 percent), and Judy Meilleur of the Freedom Party of BC had 153 votes (0.72 percent). The BC Green Party named Pat McCutcheon as its Surrey-Cloverdale candidate for that election in a release dated April 17, 2024. The name, the party and the district match the 2026 candidacy. voche.me found no 2026 page from the party or a campaign that says the 2026 candidate is the same person.
Elections Canada's results for the federal by-election of December 16, 2024 in Cloverdale-Langley City list Patrick McCutcheon of the Green Party with 580 votes (3.9 percent). Tamara Jansen of the Conservative Party won with 9,936 votes (66.2 percent). The Cloverdale Reporter wrote on November 18, 2024 that Pat McCutcheon would run for the Green Party of Canada in that by-election. In a candidate questionnaire printed by the Aldergrove Star, the federal Green candidate gave the same one-sentence biography that the 2024 provincial Green candidate in Surrey-Cloverdale gave the Cloverdale Reporter.
In those 2024 questionnaire answers, the candidate described a career as a professional engineer, now retired, who ran a consulting business for 25 years that gave design services to heavy equipment manufacturers, and gave 23 years as the time lived in Cloverdale. The party's 2024 release called the candidate a retired small business owner. These are the candidate's and the party's own accounts. voche.me has not checked them with any other body, and does not know the candidate's work in 2026.
The BC Green Party's 2026 candidates page did not list Pat McCutcheon on 2026-10-01, and the address of a candidate page in that name returned a page-not-found error. voche.me has not contacted the campaign.

Reporting
Cloverdale Reporter
Cloverdale resident running for B.C. Greens in Surrey-Cloverdale riding
A 2024 report on the 2024 Green candidate in Surrey-Cloverdale. It quotes the candidate on health care, school portables, taxes and rental help, and calls the candidate a retired engineer. voche.me read it through the Internet Archive, because the original address now opens the paper's home page.
The paper printed each 2024 Surrey-Cloverdale candidate's own answers to the same questions. The Green candidate listed cost of living, health care and climate change as the top three issues.
Pat McCutcheon to run for Green Party in Cloverdale-Langley City
A report that Pat McCutcheon would run for the Green Party of Canada in the federal by-election of December 16, 2024. It quotes an email from the candidate on health care, housing costs and climate change.
Sources checked October 1, 2026. Official records establish decisions; campaign material establishes stated positions; reporting adds investigation and context. None alone establishes every claim.
No 2026 campaign website, party candidate page, news report, interview or public statement from the candidate was found on 2026-10-01. The BC Green Party's 2026 candidates page lists 18 candidates and does not name Pat McCutcheon, and the address bcgreens.ca/candidates-2026/pat-mccutcheon/ returned a page-not-found error. A search of the party website for McCutcheon returned only the April 17, 2024 release. The 2024 party page named on the 2024 VoteMate profile, bcgreens2024.ca/your-candidates/pat-mccutcheon, also returned a page-not-found error. A BC Green Party donation page titled "Pat McCutcheon's Campaign" answered, with no text beyond its title and no date, so it is not used. The Cloverdale Reporter's report on the Surrey districts, dated 2026-09-28, does not name a Green candidate in Surrey-Cloverdale. VoteMate's 2026 page for the district did not list Pat McCutcheon on this date. BC Ballot lists Pat McCutcheon as a filed BC Green Party candidate in the district, with no statement or link. The 2024 VoteMate profile names a Facebook page, an Instagram account and an X account. Those sites need a sign-in to read, so nothing from them is used. A public Bluesky account with the display name Pat McCutcheon describes a Cloverdale resident. voche.me found no post on it that ties the account to the 2026 candidacy, so nothing from it is used. The 2024 material belongs to a Green candidate with the same name in the same district. The federal by-election entry rests on the same name, the Green Party, Cloverdale, and a biography sentence that matches the 2024 provincial answers word for word. voche.me found no 2026 page that states the 2026 candidate is the same person. The 2024 Cloverdale Reporter pages were read as Internet Archive copies, because their original addresses now open the paper's home page. The work history in the 2024 answers and the party's 2024 release has not been checked with any other body. voche.me did not search the results of the 2025 federal general election. The photographs found are from 2024, and voche.me found no 2026 photo published by the candidate or the party, so the page has no portrait. The organizers of the October 15 forum have not published who will attend. Campaign finances and endorsements were not found on this date. Nominations close October 3, 2026, so other candidates may still be added. The questionnaire has not been sent.
