No independent reporting naming Molnar as a 2026 Park Board candidate was opened. ABC's own news page carries no announcement of its Park Board slate, and ABC's team index page did not list Molnar among the names it displayed. The Wikipedia article on ABC Vancouver covers events only up to February 2025, so whether Molnar is still party president is unestablished. The years Molnar held the party presidency, the youth sport roles and the employer in the construction materials industry are all taken from ABC's own page and were not confirmed elsewhere. No dated public statement, interview or recorded vote by Molnar was found. 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. 1 stated position 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 organizational roles and distinguish personal proposals from party commitments. 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. 03 / Background ## Experience & community 2021 to 2026 ### Co-founder and former president, ABC Vancouver ABC's candidate page names Molnar as a co-founder and former president of the party.
