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

As a local business owner, I’ve had the opportunity to work with Raj Sandhu over the years, and I am pleased to support him for Mayor of Bradford West Gwillimbury. Raj has always been accessible whenever I needed assistance. He returns calls, follows up, and works hard to find solutions. As Deputy Mayor, he helped us navigate issues related to obtaining the electrical transformer needed for our hotel. As our County Councillor, he also worked with County Paramedic Services to resolve an issue with our site address so ambulances could locate our property quickly during emergencies. Those efforts made a real difference for our business and for the safety of our guests. What I appreciate most about Raj is that he genuinely cares about helping people. He listens, follows through, and treats everyone with respect. I believe Bradford West Gwillimbury would benefit from his experience, leadership, and commitment to our community, and I am proud to endorse Raj Sandhu for Mayor.

Having watched our community grow rapidly over the years, I know how vital it is to have leadership that is stable, fiscally responsible, and deeply connected to the people who live here. For over a decade, Raj has proven himself to be a dedicated, accessible, and inclusive leader on our town council.

"My husband and I will always support Mr. Raj Sandhu! First and foremost, it will be a great step forward for our present Deputy Mayor, to continue his work in our community. He is conscious, bright, personable, approachable and cares about our community. My husband and I met Mr. Sandhu 11 years ago when we first moved into Bradford after living in Aurora for 20 years. Then, my students were performing their musical talent in a place in our town. Mr. Sandhu spoke to the youths and their parents and guests of our community. The beautiful cultural dance and music, was the most enjoyable evening. Then again, my husband and I met him at another one of my students’ performances a few years later. He spoke so cultivatedly to the students’ families and to the guests. You could see that his love and interests for our community was vast. My motto, Children are our gifts, as parents and the community we must encourage them, for self-growth, motivate them, advocate for them through all of their transitions in life. Mr. Sandhu has shown us, that he is a fine leader in our community and we must keep him in office, so our youth and all the residents can have a role model in our community that will be sensitive, and will continue to bring credibility to our growing community.
