RICHMOND, ON – Brandon Bay, a housing advocate and software developer, has been officially nominated as the Ontario Liberal candidate for Carleton.
“As a longtime housing advocate, Brandon has the experience needed to help an Ontario Liberal government tackle the housing crisis Doug Ford has allowed to spiral our of control.
“I’m thrilled to welcome Brandon to our team as we put the hard work in to deliver more for you!”
— Bonnie Crombie, Leader of Ontario’s Liberals
“I have been involved in advocacy and policy work for several years now, trying to make a difference. For too long, Doug Ford and his Conservatives have ignored Ontario’s issues, and sold this province off to their friends at our expense. I can’t sit by and do nothing while my future, and my son’s future, withers away under this government.
“That’s why I have joined Bonnie Crombie and the Ontario Liberal Party. This is the team with the solutions, the skills, and the commitment to get this province back on track. Together, we can make housing more affordable, restore access to healthcare, and achieve so much more for you.”
