In October 2022, I ran for City Council; I lost, but what a ride that was. I learned so much. Specifically, I love politics. As I walked the campaign trail and listened to you, it was clear how much people want change, I felt your anger. 

 

That anger fueled me to change for myself. I began supporting the Conservative Party of Canada. I became a delegate for Brampton South and went to Quebec City to learn as much as I could. 

 

I continue on my path of serving people, whether the president of CARP, Canadian Association of Retirement People in Brampton, CO-CHAIR of The Summit of Aging with the Region of Peel, Volunteer driver with Brampton Meals on Wheels, or the president of Brampton Woman Up, this is who I am. I am a business woman with over 35 years, and I own a company and sit on the board of a non-profit. I am the leader of AGE tech in Smell Therapy in Canada.

​

Rejection is a "word." I have thick skin, I am an entrepreneur, and I have failed many times. I do speak my mind, however I am listening more as I get older.  I say 'No' more, stand up for myself, agree to disagree, and do not compare myself to anyone.   I believe in the first amendment, but I will not be harassed or abused in any way as I am trying to do the right thing. I believe in honesty, community, helping others and living my best life.

 

So, I am here to stay. politically I do not know where I will go as of today, but I will build this over the next few years so more of you will know me. I am working hard to create change here in Brampton. Our city is being destroyed by race wars, a lack of vision for the infrastructure needed for this change, and, more importantly, the people here need leadership; I hear you.

If you want to help me, please share my website, teamtracy.ca, follow me on Facebook and Twitter, and sign up for my newsletter. We also have a good following on Nextdoor, and we are starting to meet at our women's group. A group that welcomes men but focuses on building women's interests.

 

Thank you for the love you all share. Specifically, the lady who stopped in her car to hug me, the man who came by my home to tell me how proud he was of me, and the family who blew me kisses across the street as we walked by the bus stop. My daughter tells me I am a better mother, and my son tells me I am a true leader. My team starts with you, and we can change our city together. Thank you, my friend. Let's work on this together.
