Long-time Davenport resident and community advocate Alejandra Bravo filed nomination papers with the City of Toronto on Thursday, July 5, to declare her candidacy for Ward 9 councillor.

Alejandra has a proven track record as a dedicated progressive advocate and is a long-standing champion grounded in social justice. She knows that we need champions at City Hall that have courage, bold vision, are transparent, and are accountable to the people of this city. That’s why she is running to be your Davenport councillor.

When asked about her vision for representing Davenport residents, Alejandra voiced a sense of urgency for real change on Toronto’s Council to push for solutions to address funding and policy choices to meet the needs of the many, not a select few. "No one person can correct the wrongs and I don't pretend to have all the answers. I will engage and listen to the people that I will represent, so they are involved in shaping the decisions that impact them - this is all our city."
