Daily Hive · September 22, 2026
Nothing was found about Kroeker beyond the ABC Vancouver candidate page and the two Daily Hive candidate-list articles. No interview, speech, campaign event, past candidacy or independent profile was found. The party page names no employer for the technology work and no charity for the volunteer work, so neither claim could be checked. ABC Vancouver has not published a separate school board platform, so every policy item above is the party's council platform.
Research status
## What voche.me has checked
Evidence reviewed on September 22, 2026: Current campaign material; biographical claims require corroboration.
Campaign page read on September 22, 2026. 2 stated positions and 3 background facts recorded here. This site blocks automated requests, so each quotation was read from the live page twice, independently.
Checks still to do: Verify professional roles and request transparent procurement and student-data safeguards.
The ballot name, office, ballot number and party label come from the City's final candidate list. Everything described as campaign material is the campaign's own account and has not been confirmed by an independent source.
