About Raj

A leader you can believe in

Since 2010, I’ve had the honour of serving as Ward 1 Councillor for Bradford West Gwillimbury, and since 2022, as your Deputy Mayor and Simcoe County Councillor.

My family and I moved to Bradford in 1989 because we saw it as a wonderful place to live and raise a family. My wife Rana and I are proud to have raised our three children right here in Bradford West Gwillimbury.

Service to our community is something my entire family believes in. Rana cares for residents at Bradford Valley, and my brothers serve as local police officers. Even our dog Benny takes his role in the neighbourhood seriously, always keeping a close eye on things during his daily walks.

Here’s What Residents Have to Say About Raj

A strong community is built by bringing people together and supporting one another. Raj shared those values and genuinely cares about the people of Bradford. I'm proud to support him for Mayor.

Josie Patera

Resident, Bradford West Gwillimbury

I am proud to endorse Raj Sandhu as Bradford's next mayor. Raj brings years of experience on Council, a collaborative approach to leadership, a commitment to responsible spending, and an understanding of BWG's rich agricultural heritage. Raj's ability to build relationships is especially critical with other levels of government, especially the County of Simcoe where he can influence decisions and persuade colleagues from across the region to support our communities' priorities. And Raj's private sector experience will set him in good stead to find effective efficiencies and procedures to move our Town forward.

Jonathon Scott

Ward 2 Councillor, Bradford West Gwillimbury

Having led a public organization, I understand the responsibility that comes with managing taxpayers’ money. Raj understands that responsibility too. I’ve known him to ask questions, look for efficiencies and consider the financial impact of decisions while recognizing the importance of the services residents rely on. I strongly endorse Raj for Mayor and have confidence in his ability to provide responsible, accountable leadership for Bradford West Gwillimbury.
