Three-term Liberal MP Ruby Sahota, left, and two-term former Liberal MP Ramesh Sangha are considering whether they will challenge Patrick Brown for the Brampton mayor spot in the upcoming municipal elections on Oct. 24. Brown has not declared, but a spokesperson says he is 'leaning' towards running again.Message:
A lawyer by training, Sahota was first elected to the House in 2015 and has been re-elected two times since then with very comfortable double-digit margins. During her parliamentary career, she has served as chair of the Procedure and House Affairs Committee, and as a member of several House committees, including Foreign Affairs and International Development, the Electoral Reform Committee, among others.
“Mayor Brown hosted his monthly tele-town hall [July 11] and was inundated with residents asking him to run for mayor again,” Chisholm Pothier, a spokesman for Brown, told. “He will make a decision soon and is leaning to returning to municipal public service.” In March of this year, days before declaring his Conservative leadership run, Brown and CTV agreed to“Key details provided to CTV for the story were factually incorrect and required correction. CTV National News regrets including those details in the story and any harm this may have caused to Mr. Brown,” reads the update agreed upon by both parties, according to CTV.
