In the recent election, Bobbi Ann Brady, the independent candidate for Haldimand-Norfolk, achieved a historic victory by recapturing her seat in Queen's Park with nearly 64% of the vote. Beating the Progressive Conservative candidate Amy Martin by over 20,000 votes, Brady reflects on her genuine approach to representation as a crucial factor in her success. Her win reinforces the notion that independent voices have a rightful place in politics, despite the challenges posed by not having a party's resources. Brady expresses gratitude and recognizes the courage of her constituents for making a bold choice.
Brady said she's grateful to the people of Haldimand-Norfolk for making a "bold and courageous" choice to elect her not once, but twice. "The courage that it takes to go to the ballot box and do something that the major parties have conditioned us not to do, that speaks volumes to the people of Haldimand Norfolk."
While not having the resources of a major political party is challenging, Brady said she thinks her supporters back her because she doesn't have to tow the party line. "I think they love the fact that I can go to Queens Park in a very honest and genuine way," Brady said. "I'm not under anyone's thumb. No leader can tell me what I can and cannot say."
