Todd Holowchak
Candidate — Surrey-Serpentine River
Surrey-Serpentine River is home. My wife and I have built our life here. She works in health care, and our daughter is at Simon Fraser University pursuing a career in anthropology and archaeology. Like any parent, I want her generation to build a good life in British Columbia, and that’s a big part of why I’m running.
I’ve been in politics since I was 16, working on municipal, provincial and federal campaigns in just about every role. I’ve knocked on doors, organized rides to the polls and stayed up for the count. After a lifetime helping others get elected, I’m putting my own name forward.
I’m a man of strong convictions, and I’ve always put principle ahead of party. As president of the local BC Conservative riding association, I raised concerns in writing about how the party ran its 2025 leadership review and asked for an independent review. It cost me my membership, but I’d do it again. Fair process matters, and so does standing up when it isn’t easy.
In business, I co-founded a software company, was a vice president at a major recruiting firm and studied commerce at UBC. During COVID, I managed a Surrey branch and delivered a major staffing contract for Fraser Health. Today I lead business development for a BC software company. Meeting payrolls and balancing budgets taught me to respect every dollar, especially someone else’s.
I’m running with OneBC because its plan is in writing and its members decide it: lower taxes, a balanced budget, safer streets, real recovery for people struggling with addiction, and parents at the centre of their children’s education.
I say what I mean and I mean what I say. If you elect me, you’ll always know where I stand.
