Haldimand-Norfolk elects independent candidate Bobbi Ann Brady

An Independent candidate is set to represent Haldimand Norfolk at Queen’s Park.

Bobbi Ann Brady pulled off a win in the 2022 Ontario Election dumping Progressive Conservative candidate and Haldimand mayor Ken Hewitt by just over 2,000 votes on Thursday.

She picked up 35 per cent of the estimated 45,000 votes cast in the county on June 2. Hewitt had just 30 per cent.

Support for the campaign came from former PC MPP Toby Barrett who opted not to seek an eighth term in April.
