RDCO vice-chair Kevin Kraft

RDCO Vice Chair Kevin Kraft ran as an independent in Kelowna-Lake Country-Coldstream in the October, 2024 B.C. election. He lost. He plotted for Federal candidate for the Conservatives, and lost.

Kraft is RDCO East Area Director, and serves on multiple local boards. In a review of a 2 year old e-mail, a reliable source fingered Kraft as a Sandher operative. "The story at hand is money and influence as they have offered the Vernon/Lumby MLA Candidacy to Keven Kraft. (tight with Saunders) They meaning John Rustad himself on a 1:30 minute call to Kevin on Monday afternoon. Kevin then called Min in Kelowna."

"He’s connected to Min Randawa who’s ex is a big member of Saundhers crew"

Kraft was directly involved in the machinations that gifted a BC Conservative nomination to Gavin Dew.

This was Bir Singh Sandher's riding, containing his drug bunker on Black Mountain and his polluting plant. Dew was his favoured, greased candidate and that is who John Rustad gifted the nomination to. Prabtaj Singh Sandher touted Gavin Dew’s appearance at the Vaisakhi in Kelowna.

Kevin Kraft is employed by the dodgy Michael Bradley Matvieshen. He is 'Operations Manager' at Homestead Foods. The property at 415 Old Vernon Road used to be a questionably legal pot grow op. They now purportedly grow lettuce and herbs and sell it on the roadside in a 'farmer's market'. Most question those economics. Here.

Matvieshen's latest news is all about not paying his taxes, and that is a decades long common theme for him. Matvieshen has proven he expects to pay no taxes at all. This is probably related to his native connections.

In May 2026 he was fined $9,000 and placed on house arrest after being convicted for failure to comply with income tax law. In 2016 he was fined $12,500. The Crown said Matvieshen had failed to file his taxes in tax years 2014, 2015, and 2016. The Crown said Matvieshen had 31 other counts for failure to comply with the Income Tax Act dating back to 2010. Indigenous Bloom Hemp Corp. is Matvieshen's most famous abject failure.

Its said Matvieshen is boning his investors in the kaput Sunlogics Power Fund Management and Wolverine Resources Corp. The companies involved in the tax case included Mill Creek Developments Ltd., Kelowna Office Surplus Ltd., and Marshall Business Center Inc.
