TRACY PEPE
To vote for me, you need to be a member.
This year, I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to all the residents who supported our annual sock campaign. I’m thrilled to announce that we exceeded our targets, collecting over 349 pairs of socks!
​
Sadly, after six years of running this campaign, the need for gestures like this continues to grow. As many of you know, the encampments in our downtown area and the increasing number of individuals asking for help highlight the desperation in our community. The challenging economy has made it even harder for many, yet your generosity shone through once again.
​
Socks provide critical insulation for both feet and hands, helping to prevent frostbite during harsh winters. Your contributions make a real difference in the lives of those in need.
As we approach the new year, we also face a federal election that brings the promise of hope and change. As I continue to support the Federal Conservative Party for Brampton Centre, I am committed to addressing key issues like housing, taxes, and the cost of living. Together, we can pave the way toward recovery and a brighter future for our city.
​
It is my sincere hope that one day, the need for sock campaigns will diminish as we build a stronger, more compassionate community. Thank you for your ongoing support!
Election Signs Matter in Brampton! YES my team stopped this nonsense. To every Brampton resident: the election bylaw has been restored to its original form. You have the right to place an election sign on your property, and that is the way it should be! Learn more here.
https://www.311brampton.ca/article/?articleId=a044d7ab-8501-ea11-a811-000d3af46757&publicnumber=KA-03967 Canada's charter speaks to freedom of expression, is at the heart of the debate over election signs in Brampton. I am proud to say the bylaw was NOT changed. The motion to prohibit election signs on private property was challenged and returned to the way it should be! The journey continues, and I vow to uphold Brampton’s right to free speech, especially the right to post any election sign you choose on your property! My team will continue to monitor the situation. Making Change within my City.. as a resident that is!

WHY RUN FEDERALLY?
As I run for the nomination in Brampton Centre for the Conservative Party of Canada, my writing has sparked some questions, which I welcome. I’m open to criticism and enjoy hearing diverse viewpoints. However, I want to be clear: I cannot stand entitlement, and in a politician, that’s even worse.
One of the fundamental reasons the RRL (Residential Rental Licensing) Program will not work in Brampton is straightforward—you have a group of city leaders who fail to hold each other accountable. Consider, for instance, Councillor Toor, who reportedly owns an illegal rental apartment. This is the same councillor involved in the Queen St. property issue I previously exposed. It’s troubling that while leaders like Dennis Keenan and Rowena Santos sit beside him debating the need for Brampton residents to “clean up their act,” our council itself is entangled in problematic practices.
​
Another major reason I am running, I support a fiscally responsible government is because I believe in fair, honest paychecks. A strong team is built from diverse levels of staff with varying degrees of education and expertise. Hard work and its resulting contributions are key to our economic success. When CUPE 831 went on strike in Brampton, Gordon (my dog) and I stood with them. Despite the City of Brampton's mismanagement of funds, they offered a 4–6% increase to non-union members, yet only came to the table with a 3% offer for CUPE members. This is unacceptable—successful teams require a team approach. The entitlement and arrogance demonstrated by the City of Brampton, with a lack of transparency, overspending, hidden agendas, and mismanagement, should not fall on the shoulders of the workers. The Liberal government has also left us with one of the worst GDPs in decades, demonstrating how employers such as the City of Brampton to not understand why it is critical to invest in its people; that needs to change. I believe a Conservative government led by Pierre Poilievre will change that.
Many ask what I’d do differently. Quite simply, I’m here to act as an intelligent, business-minded problem solver. I believe in asking the tough questions and challenging the status quo. Federally, I intend to bring constituents’ voices directly to the government. I understand that some may have reservations about the Conservative leader. However, I’m not here to make friends; I’m here to get the job done and represent your voices. I listen to the people in my community, and I am committed to practical, professional solutions. I love my city, and when the time comes, I hope Brampton wakes up and votes!
