Diagnostic and procedure wait-times
BC Conservatives's promises
"After a brief consultation period, the Conservative Party of BC will:
- Implement the Patients First Wait Time Guarantee for select diagnostics and surgical procedures.
If diagnostic or medical procedures exceed medically recommended wait times, patients would be able to access care at a pre-approved facility out-of-province and be re-imbursed according to a set fee schedule. A similar policy (Cross Border Directive) has been helping patients across the European Union since 2013."

"The Conservative Party of BC will:
- Pay for patients in the public system to receive quality health care services in non-governmental clinics for specific priority procedures and diagnostic services.
We will get people off waiting lists and into operating rooms and diagnostic clinics for services like MRIs and priority surgeries. It makes no sense for non-government health facilities to sit idle when they could be contracted to help BC patients right now."

Health administration
BC Conservatives's promise
"Instead of simply throwing money at health facilities and hoping for the best (the “block grant” model), the Conservative Party will implement what has effectively worked well in European countries and Quebec – a policy known as “activity-based funding”.
This will see hospitals, Regional Health Authorities, and/or other non-government facilities funded based on their output – each time they treat patients for specific diagnostic and priority procedures, they receive additional funds. This approach incentivizes providers to be more efficient and treat as many patients as possible."

Housing & Homelessness
Housing prices
BC Conservatives's promise
"1) Largest tax cut for renters and homeowners in BC history – $3,000 per month of rent or mortgage interest costs will be exempt from provincial income taxes. This will be achieved by issuing a tax credit worth 5.06% of eligible housing costs, equivalent to the rate of BC’s base tax bracket.
2) Immediate relief in Budget 2026 - by exempting $1,500 per month, increasing by $500 per year to the full level of $3,000 per month. This is a clear and long-term commitment to British Columbians who work hard.
3) A fair and fiscally responsible tax credit – The 2026 budget impact will not exceed $900 million, and we will design a targeted tax credit that ensures the relief goes to people who need it to get ahead in life." — conservativebc.ca, retrieved 2024-10-08

Growing up as the oldest of eight kids, she learned the value of hard work and responsibility early on—skills that have guided her through life. After 25 years of living, working, and raising a family in the Okanagan Valley, Kristina is deeply connected to the community she loves.
For 26 years, Kristina has been married to her best friend and business partner, Andrew. Together, they’ve raised four amazing kids.

Whether it’s helping people buy their first home, supporting families during childbirth, or caring for the elderly, Kristina brings compassion and dedication to everything she does.
In 2022, Kristina and her family took a five-month adventure in Costa Rica, soaking up the culture and gaining new insights into balanced living.

Reason for running
Kristina has called the Okanagan Valley home for over 25 years. She’s lived, worked, and raised her family here, and truly understands what makes Kelowna special. Her background as a Real Estate Professional, Doula, Youth Leader, and Care-Aide has given her a unique perspective and a well-rounded set of skills to tackle the issues that really matter to the community.
Kristina decided to run for MLA because she felt like her voice—and the voices of many others weren’t being heard by the current government or the opposition.
