A local business owner has stepped forward to seek the Conservative nomination for Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound.
Ken Brown, a retired local Georgian Bluffs resident, declares his candidacy for the Conservative Party nomination. Ken was raised on a dairy and sheep farm in Bruce County and currently owns and operates two local small businesses with his wife Tammy, who grew up in Wiarton.
“I am immensely honoured and humbled to announce my candidacy to seek the nomination for the Conservative Party of this great riding and its residents. I have always loved being in the service of others, and what a fantastic way to continue that!”
Ken clearly knows and understands the entire region and the issues that are important to the people who live here. Ken is connected, whether it be to Agriculture, Small Business, Hunting & Fishing, Tourism or Economic Development. Ken has been actively involved with many local community committees in Bruce and Grey Counties, as well as the political boards of the BGOS Conservative Electoral District Association and the BGOS Ontario PC Association. Ken continues to serve and put others first.
“I am extremely proud of my upbringing on the farm in this region and the person it has made me today. It has ingrained in me an immense work ethic that I apply to all things in my life. This is highly visible through my dedication to my family, community volunteerism, continual education, career, and friends. No matter where I have travelled in the world, I have always promoted the beautiful Bruce-Grey area and the awesome people who live here.”
Retired from a global career in the petroleum industry and a construction career in Ontario managing hospital construction projects, Ken is well versed at collaborating with very large diversified teams to get things done.
