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.

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.
