As Proud Politics said, "Ryan is no stranger to Toronto Centre." He has lived in Toronto Centre for more than a decade. A local volunteer and longtime advocate, he has a reputation for getting results – for setting goals and working hard to meet them. 


In 2018, Ryan was your candidate in the Toronto Municipal Election for Ward 13 Toronto Centre. He put forward a platform that focused on building a safer city, housing affordability, reducing congestion, and investing in new transit infrastructure. 


As an LGBTQ2 candidate in the 43rd Canadian General Election, Ryan was proud to bring his lived experience to the Conservative Party of Canada. And he was proud to bring what he's learned as a director with organizations working to reduce barriers for LGBTQ2 people, and other underrepresented groups, right here in Toronto Centre. 


Ryan is an is an alumnus of Ryerson University’s Public Administration & Governance program and wants to bring together everyone who believes in a balance between fiscal responsibility, progressive social policy, and individual rights and responsibilities. 


Ryan looks forward to building an inclusive, safe, and prosperous future for Toronto Centre and Canada.
