MARKHAM, ON – Kelly Dunn, a public education advocate and high school teacher, has been officially nominated as the Ontario Liberal candidate for Markham—Stouffville.
“As a teacher with over twenty years of experience serving Ontario families, Kelly brings a wealth of experience and dedication to our Ontario Liberal team.
“Her perspective, guidance, and expertise will be invaluable to our mission to rebuild public education after years of Doug Ford’s cuts.”
— Bonnie Crombie, Leader of Ontario’s Liberals
“We deserve leaders that listen. Calls for better schools, care for seniors, health care accessibility, as well as walkable green spaces and livable communities can’t be ignored or placated with Conservative convenience store solutions.
“As an educator, I respond to every hand raised in the classroom and no one leaves feeling unheard. As the next Ontario Liberal MPP for Markham-Stouffville, I’ll always listen and together we’ll chart our path forward.”
— Kelly Dunn, Ontario Liberal Candidate for Markham—Stouffville
