OneBC's candidates page, read on 2026-10-03, lists 17 names and does not include him. voche.me found no biography, work history, earlier public role or statement of his own, so none is given here. A letter to the editor signed "Todd Holowchak, Surrey, BC" and a LinkedIn profile with the same name exist, and no source that voche.me opened says either one belongs to the candidate, so neither is used. voche.me has not contacted the campaign.

The name search was limited on 2026-10-03: the search tool was unavailable, and the public search pages read gave no news report, campaign page or statement that names him as a candidate. No campaign website, OneBC candidate page, social account or statement of his was found, and OneBC's candidates page, read on 2026-10-03, lists 17 names and not him. Two public records carry the same name and are not tied to him by any source opened: a letter to the editor in the Western Standard, published 22 Sep 2026 and signed "Todd Holowchak, Surrey, BC" (it does not say he is a candidate), and a LinkedIn profile with the same name (not opened). voche.me has not tied this name to any person, and the letter and profile are not used. His background, work history, earlier public roles and reasons for running were not found. His positions on the OneBC platform, all-candidates meetings in the district, campaign finances and endorsements were not found on this date. OneBC's X account and Facebook page returned no text naming him. Research status ## What voche.me has checked Evidence reviewed on 2026-10-03: the Elections BC candidate list, the 2024 statement of votes, the Elections BC key dates page, and OneBC's home, candidates, priorities and events pages. The BC Ballot page for the candidate and the Wikipedia and Canadian Elections Tracker candidate lists name him only as the OneBC candidate in the district and add nothing from him. The name search was limited. The search tool was unavailable, so voche.me read Bing, Google, DuckDuckGo, Brave, Mojeek, Google News and Bing News result pages and the Western Standard site search directly. They returned no news report, campaign page or statement that names him as a candidate. One Western Standard letter and one LinkedIn profile carry the same name and are not tied to the candidate by any source opened, so they are listed as gaps. OneBC's X account and Facebook page returned no text naming him. No campaign website, party page, social account or public statement of his was found, so those sections are empty. The pledges listed are OneBC's platform, shown as the party's. An empty section records what voche.me found on this date. 03 / Background ## Experience & community 2026 ### OneBC candidate, Surrey-Serpentine River Listed by Elections BC with the affiliation OneBC on the candidate list stamped October 3, 2026.
