Surrey, B.C. — Cheney Cloke received 26,326 votes in Surrey’s October 17, 2026 municipal election, winning one of the eight citywide council seats, according to the City’s official results. Her background spans health-sector leadership, small business and the Surrey Police Board.
Her police-board experience gives her a direct connection to one of Surrey’s central municipal debates, while her tax and recreation promises will face the new council’s budget and delivery tests.
Background and experience
Cloke’s City-hosted candidate profile describes her as a Surrey business owner and community advocate with more than 20 years of experience across public and private sectors. It says she spent 15 years in senior leadership with Fraser Health Authority, leading transformation projects, and owns a wholesale distribution company serving independent pet-supply retailers across Western Canada. The profile also says she served as vice-chair of the Surrey Police Board under chair Doug McCallum.
Campaign priorities
Cloke’s candidate profile lists support for Surrey Police Service, zero per cent property-tax increases, SkyTrain to Newton, and new pools and community centres as Safe Surrey Coalition commitments. These are campaign promises, not approved municipal policy or funded projects.
