The campaign

Three priorities. One standard: results.

Guelph does not need slogans that disappear after election day. Rajee's campaign is organized around three clear responsibilities residents should be able to expect from local government.

01 · Affordability

Respect every tax dollar.

Push for disciplined budgeting, faster housing approvals, stronger economic growth and better value from the services residents already pay for.

"Government is not a business. But residents still deserve discipline, responsiveness and accountability from the organization they fund."

Rajee's experience spans hospitality, retail management, small business and real estate. He has spent decades working directly with people, solving operational problems and seeing how decisions affect families and local businesses in real life.

— Rajee Sinha

Why Rajee

A newcomer to politics. Not a newcomer to Guelph.

Rajee came to Canada as a student in 1994 and moved to Guelph in 2003. He and his wife built their family here, raising two children — and a much-loved family dog — while Rajee built a career across hospitality, retail management, entrepreneurship and real estate.

He is running because he believes Guelph can protect what makes it special while becoming more affordable, more responsive and better prepared for growth.

  • More than two decades connected to Guelph
  • Front-line and management experience serving the public
  • Small-business and real-estate perspective
  • A family perspective on the cost and quality of life in the city
