Bobbi Ann Brady is a Member of the Provincial Parliament for Haldimand-Norfolk, serving as an Independent voice at Queen’s Park. While she is the first woman to hold the seat in the modern "Haldimand—Norfolk" riding, she is widely noted for being the first-ever female independent Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) in Ontario's history.  Elected in the 2022 Ontario provincial election, she also made history by winning the seat as an independent candidate rather than under a major party banner, something which had not been done since 1905. In 2025, Brady made history again by being the first member to be re-elected as in Independent.  

At Queen’s Park Brady serves on the Standing Committee on Finance and Economic Affairs . She advocates for rural communities, agriculture, and responsible fiscal policy. 

Before being elected, Brady spent more than two decades in constituency service, helping residents navigate government programs and building a deep understanding of the issues facing farmers, small businesses, and families across Haldimand-Norfolk and rural Ontario. She is known as a down-to-earth straight shooter and a representative who leads with honesty and integrity.  

Outside politics, Brady is a First-Degree Black Belt in karate, a national kickboxing champion, and a lifelong hockey player—bringing the same discipline and determination to public service that she has shown in sport.
