Langley voted on Saturday, and all three of our ridings sent the same people back to Victoria. Congratulations to Harman Bhangu, Misty Van Popta and Jody Toor, and thanks to every candidate who put their name on a ballot this fall. Running for office takes time, money and a thick skin, whichever party you run for.

This isn’t an endorsement. It’s the same neutral rundown we do for council: who won, a little about each of them, what they’ve said on the record, and how to get in touch.

Langley-Abbotsford: Harman Bhangu

Bhangu took the riding comfortably again, with roughly 62% of the votes counted when the race was called, ahead of the NDP’s Erin Osborne, Green Melissa Snazell, OneBC’s Shelly Jan and Libertarian Alex Joehl. In 2024 he won it with 55.6%.

The riding covers part of the Township of Langley and part of Abbotsford. Bhangu lives in Langley and spent 17 years in heavy-load trucking and aggregate hauling before politics. He was a party vice-president and its 2022 Surrey South by-election candidate long before the Conservatives’ 2024 breakthrough, and in February 2026 he entered the race to lead the party.

On the record

  • Announcing his leadership bid, February 2026: “I helped build this party from nothing.” He framed his run around working people, grassroots values and safer communities, and pointed to mill and small blue-collar business closures. (Aldergrove Star)
  • After his first win, October 2024, he thanked residents who “put their trust in me.” (Boundary Creek Times)

More on his background and priorities: Harman Bhangu.

Langley-Walnut Grove: Misty Van Popta

Van Popta held about 55% in the count when the race was called, ahead of the NDP’s Holly Isaac, Green Sam Meyer and CentreBC’s Kyle Stevenson. Two years ago she won by 1,172 votes over the NDP incumbent; Saturday’s lead was wider.

She’s a Langley native with a background in construction project management, and came to the Legislature from Township council, where she was elected in 2022. She kept that council seat after winning provincially in 2024, then had to step down in May 2025 when a new provincial law barred MLAs from also holding municipal office.

On the record

  • On keeping her council seat after the 2024 win: “I feel it’s important to honour the position I was elected for in 2022.” (CBC News, Nov 2024)
  • When the Eligibility to Hold Public Office Act took effect in May 2025 and ended her council term, she described the council role as a “part-time job.” (CFJC Today)
  • Her party profile lists school overcrowding, health care and transit as the issues behind her first run. (Her page)

More: Misty Van Popta. (Not to be confused with MP Tako Van Popta.)

Langley-Willowbrook: Jody Toor

This was the closest Langley race in 2024, when Toor beat NDP incumbent Andrew Mercier by 867 votes. It was the same two names at the top on Saturday, and this time the gap was wider: about 52.5% to 36% with nearly every box counted, a lead of around 3,100 votes. Green Anisha Sandhu and OneBC’s Shubham Joshi rounded out the ballot.

Langley-Willowbrook includes parts of Langley City and the Township. Toor grew up in Langley, runs an integrative holistic clinic here, and served as chair of the Conservative caucus. Her best-known piece of legislative work is a private member’s bill on perinatal and postnatal mental health care, which got unanimous support from all parties at second reading in March 2025, a rare result for a private member’s bill.

On the record

  • On the perinatal mental health bill, March 2025: “no women, no family, no community should have to ever feel isolated.” (CBC News)
  • At her 2024 nomination she said she wanted to “bring back jobs, affordability, and safer streets to our community.” (BC Conservatives)

More: Jody Toor.

How to reach them

Email addresses follow the Legislature’s usual pattern and carry over to the new Parliament:

Office details are as published before the election; check the Legislature’s contact list before you drop by. MLAs handle provincial things: schools, health care, highways, housing rules and BC law. For potholes, garbage and zoning, that’s your City or Township.
