A natural-born leader, Mary–Margaret was a strong City Builder long before she was elected first to Toronto City Council in 2010 and then to the Ontario Legislature in 2022.

Both inside and outside of Queen’s Park, Mary–Margaret is sharply focused on advocating for bold climate policy, improved healthcare, better housing solutions, safer schools, and reliable transportation for her community and all Ontarians.

Mary–Margaret has a knack for bringing people together and inspiring them. Whether it is working across party lines in the Chamber or promoting people power in the community, she ensures everyone’s voices are heard and ideas are valued. With her endless energy and creativity, Mary–Margaret is a true collaborator.
