2026 · HousingCampaign pledge

What still needs checking
Which Auditor General recommendations Jones would act on first.
Honour consultation agreements with the three host Nations

Evidence & next checks
Evidence reviewed
The site states the commitment. It names no specific agreement and no change to current practice.
What still needs checking

Vancouver's 2026 civic election candidate list is set: All 130 names in ballot order
The final ballot list places Jones at number 104 on the council ballot as one of the independent candidates.
Sources checked September 22, 2026. Official records establish decisions; campaign material establishes stated positions; reporting adds investigation and context. None alone establishes every claim.
The campaign website gives no work history, no education and no previous political experience, so nothing about the candidate's background could be established or checked. No news article, interview, forum report, party page or organisation page naming this candidate was found beyond the ballot list. The name John Jones is common, and no source was found that links this candidate to any other person of the same name, so no other record has been used here. Jones has not held elected office, so there is no voting record.
