The party page describes Stockwell as a lawyer who works for Indigenous governments. The party page says Stockwell works as an unpaid lawyer for tenants.
Stockwell appears at ballot number 149 in the City Council race as a OneCity Vancouver candidate, in the ballot order Daily Hive published on September 22, 2026.
OneCity nominated Stockwell for City Council in May 2026, alongside Frances Bula, Lucy Maloney, Iona Bonamis and Jarrett Hagglund. Both the Georgia Straight and Daily Hive described Stockwell as an Indigenous rights lawyer.
The campaign site says Stockwell works as a lawyer representing Indigenous governments, including supporting First Nation councils on decision-making structures and election processes.
The OneCity candidate page describes Stockwell as a climate advocate and a lawyer working on Indigenous government representation who has also volunteered as legal counsel on tenants' rights, and says the campaign is funded by individual donors.
A 2022 park board candidate survey published by the Vancouver Public Space Network describes Stockwell as a lawyer at First Peoples Law and a Strathcona resident who holds a background in climate policy and environmental law.
The campaign site says Stockwell sits on the board of the Wilderness Committee, an environmental non-profit working on climate action and wildlife protection.

Vancouver Public Space Network
The campaign site says Stockwell spoke to council about the Official Development Plan, against restrictive budgets, for social housing and for living wage protections, but it gives no dates, so none of those appearances could be recorded as dated items. The City of Vancouver website refuses automated requests, so the official 2022 results and the 2026 nomination papers could not be opened directly, and the 2022 vote count here comes from the Wikipedia results table. The Our City Hall Pledge page shows a day and month but no year, and the full text of the six policy asks sits in a separate report that was not opened. No 2026 interview, debate report or profile article about Stockwell was found. No organiser or campaign source was found naming Stockwell as attending a specific forum between September 22 and October 17, 2026, so no events are listed.
