His ballot number is 55. This is his first run for public office, as far as voche.me could find; no earlier candidacy appears in City election records. Vancity Lookout described him in September 2026 as an ICBC employee and entrepreneur who sees running outside a party as an advantage. His candidate-submitted VoteMate biography describes entrepreneurship and public-service experience. voche.me has not confirmed his employer, his businesses or his education with any independent record. His campaign centres on housing supply, which he calls “more attainable homes”, modernized zoning, a public dashboard that tracks housing progress, and safety on public transit, according to CBC News and his VoteMate submission. His full platform is summarized in the priorities section below. Read the sources Promises / Commitments and evidence ## Commitments and the available evidence.
