## About Spencer Chandra Herbert

Spencer Chandra Herbert is the BC NDP candidate in Vancouver-West End on Elections BC’s list for the general election of October 24, 2026. He won the district in 2024 with 13,143 votes, 63.01% of the valid vote, according to the Elections BC statement of votes.

The legislature record lists his election years as 2008, 2009, 2013, 2017, 2020 and 2024. It shows him as Minister of Tourism, Arts, Culture and Sport from November 18, 2024 to July 17, 2025, and as Minister of Indigenous Relations and Reconciliation from July 17, 2025. The government’s biography of him says he was deputy speaker in the previous parliament and an elected Vancouver Park Board commissioner from 2005 to 2008.

In the legislature in 2026 he introduced the Kitselas Treaty Act and moved second reading of the K’ómoks Treaty Act. In question period he answered questions on the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples Act, a federal agreement with the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) Nation, and claims that First Nations agreements put private homes at risk. He said private property is not part of those agreements.

His campaign page says he founded Vancouver’s Rent Bank and led the effort to add protection for transgender people to the BC Human Rights Code. Those are the campaign’s own statements, and voche.me has not checked them against other records.

His campaign page gives priorities in one sentence and lists no events of its own; its Events link opens the party events page. His X and Facebook pages showed a sign-in page with no readable posts, so nothing from them is used. The BC NDP caucus page about him answered HTTP 503 and was not read. The estimates debates for his ministry (March 3 and 4, 2026), the K’ómoks Treaty Act committee sittings after May 21, 2026, and his tribute to Rob Joyce were not read line by line. Votes are taken from the vote index only; the transcripts of those votes were not opened, and the index does not show final counts. His roles before 2024, including deputy speaker and Park Board commissioner, come from the government’s biography and were not checked against the legislature or City of Vancouver records. The campaign’s statements on the Rent Bank and the Human Rights Code were not checked. No 2026 all-candidates meeting for Vancouver-West End was found. Campaign finances and endorsements were not reviewed. The questionnaire has not been sent.

## 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, 19 transcripts from 2026 where he spoke, seven government releases and his government biography, his campaign page, the BC NDP platform page, a 2024 party release, and news reports from February, April and September 2026.

Most commitments on this page come from what he said in the legislature and in government releases in 2026. His campaign page gives priorities in one sentence and states no measure, number or date. Sections with no entry record that voche.me found nothing on this date.
