Who they are
Jack Sandor is a 27-year-old Red Seal electrician, housing and transit advocate and lifelong Victoria-area resident. He grew up on Warren Gardens in Gonzales, attended Margaret Jenkins, Central and Oak Bay schools, and now rents near Stadacona Park with his fiancée. His construction work has ranged from deeply subsidized seniors’ housing to townhomes, condominiums, luxury homes and a hospital. He has served as vice-president of Homes for Living and on the BetterTransitYYJ board and volunteers at the Fernwood NRG Community Dinner. For voters, his strongest distinction is a blue-collar construction perspective paired with one of the field’s most detailed newcomer platforms; his advocacy affiliations should be weighed openly when assessing housing and transportation proposals.

How this grade was made
- The same 55 topics for every candidate.
- Actions beat words beat silence.
- A mark needs a URL and a date. Without both, the cell is a dash — unknown, not a fail.
- If they sat on Council this term, a sourced 2022–26 vote or decision beats a 2026 promise.
- A letter appears only after five scored answers.
The letter next to the name is the overall grade. The number next to it is how many scored answers that grade rests on.

Profile. Jack Sandor is a 27-year-old Red Seal electrician, housing and transit advocate and lifelong Victoria-area resident. He grew up on Warren Gardens in Gonzales, attended Margaret Jenkins, Central and Oak Bay schools, and now rents near Stadacona Park with his fiancée. His construction work has ranged from deeply subsidized seniors’ housing to townhomes, condominiums, luxury homes and a hospital. He has served as vice-president of Homes for Living and on the BetterTransitYYJ board and volunteers at the Fernwood NRG Community Dinner. For voters, his strongest distinction is a blue-collar construction perspective paired with one of the field’s most detailed newcomer platforms; his advocacy affiliations should be weighed openly when assessing housing and transportation proposals.
2026 campaign and social verification. jacksandor.ca is a current, authorized campaign site with biography, contact information and a now-complete platform covering housing, homelessness, safety, transportation, climate, business, arts, governance, reconciliation and quality of life. Named commitments include tax and fee exemptions for non-market housing; city financing for co-ops; family-suitable housing; rent-bank and supportive-housing transition funding; stronger non-police crisis response; regional policing; Douglas Street rail preparation; accessible downtown parking; balcony solar; a commercial-vacancy-tax request; arts funding; councillor investment-property disclosure; a council-voting dashboard; Indigenous participation; a municipal clinic; and additional public washrooms. Instagram, Facebook, Reddit and Bluesky are directly linked by the campaign and carry the same candidate identity. No X, Threads, TikTok or YouTube campaign account was linked.
Sources. Campaign site, full platform, 12 Mar launch coverage, Martlet profile, June joint-profile coverage and campaign-linked social accounts.
Current evidence requiring re-score. The old two-item partial assessment predates the full platform and must not be treated as current. The new document contains direct or close overlaps with M6/M6b, M9, M11, M13b, M20b, M24b, M26b, M29b, M43/M50, M58, M67, M70b/M70c, M71, M79b and M80. It also includes ideas not previously captured, particularly balcony solar, construction-site cardboard recycling, a municipal clinic, a commercial vacancy tax request and mandatory councillor investment-property disclosure. A complete crosswalk should be done at the 11 Sep lock rather than changing only the most favourable cells now.
Conflict recorded as structural fact, not allegation. Homes for Living and BetterTransitYYJ are both Livable CRD coalition partners, and under that scorecard's published methodology each partner writes and grades the questions in its own area. Two of nine grading bodies have a direct organizational relationship with one candidate. He does not control how they grade.
⚪ Remaining gaps after the full-platform review. No multi-year tax path, rotating zero-based review, managed-competition position, major-capital referendum threshold, general permit service benchmark, debt and reserve rule, Household Bill, quarterly city-wide KPI dashboard, streetlight standard, utility-GIS programme, municipal AI policy or costed implementation schedule. His trades background remains background rather than evidence for unspoken permit or infrastructure measures.
