Lois Brown

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lois Brown is a Canadian businesswoman and presumptive politician. She is a former member of the Canadian Alliance Party having been its nominated candidate prior to the merger with the Progressive Conservative Party of Canada.

She sought the nomination of the Conservative Party of Canada in the riding of Newmarket—Aurora for the 2004 federal election, but lost to Belinda Stronach by a vote of 512-412. She gained the Conservative nomination for the riding in time for the 2006 election after Stronach crossed the floor to the Liberal Party of Canada. However, she was defeated by Stronach in the election.

Brown looks to be nominated as the Conservative Party's candidate in the riding again next election, but is rumoured to be looking to step down after that.

At the March 2005 national convention of the Conservative Party of Canada, Brown was elected as a member of the National Council for the party.
