Charmaine Williams is a Canadian politician, currently serving as Associate Minister of Women's Social and Economic Opportunity.[1] She was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario in the 2022 provincial election, representing the riding of Brampton Centre as a member of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario.
Municipal politics
Williams ran for the vacant Ward 7 & 8 city council seat in the 2018 municipal election. During the campaign, Williams supported a gun amnesty buyback program and supported a municipal by-law banning the sale of marijuana within 500 meters of schools.[2][3]
On October 22, 2018, Williams was elected receiving 25.76% of the vote in a 9 person race.[4] With her victory, Williams became the first black woman ever elected to Brampton City Council.[5]
On May 31, 2022, during the Ontario provincial election in which Williams was a candidate, Brampton City Council passed a motion to pre-emptively appoint former city councillor Elaine Moore as William's replacement if she were to resign. The motion passed 6–5 with Williams being one of the 6 votes in favor.[6] A court later ruled that the pre-emptive appointment violated the Municipal Act.[7]
Provincial politics
On March 31, 2021, Williams was named Ontario PC candidate for the Brampton Centre riding.[8] On June 2, 2022, she defeated NDP incumbent Sara Singh, receiving 41.36% of the vote.[9]
On June 24, she was appointed to the Ford Ministry as Associate Minister of Women's Social and Economic Opportunity.[1], making her the first black person appointed to cabinet in an Ontario PC government.[10]
