Dosanjh joins Surrey council race as part of six-candidate slate

SURREY – The Conservative Party of Surrey has welcomed Sandy Dosanjh as its newest candidate for Surrey City Council, joining a slate headed up by a former Surrey-Guildford MLA candidate in the 2024 provincial election.

A certified personal trainer, competitive bodybuilder and dedicated volunteer, Dosanjh has devoted significant time and energy to helping young people find sports, mentorship and positive paths forward.

Through her close involvement with the KidsPlay Foundation, Dosanjh supports its work to steer young people away from drugs and gang violence through sports, discipline, mentorship and positive opportunities.

“Keeping young people away from drugs and gangs takes more than speeches,” said Dosanjh. “It takes strong families, trusted mentors and opportunities that give young people confidence, discipline and a sense of purpose. Sports can provide all of that.”

The Conservative Party says Dosanjh hails from a law-enforcement family and keenly understands the importance of ensuring police officers have the resources and support necessary to keep the community safe.

“I know how much police officers and their families sacrifice to protect our communities,” said Dosanjh. “They should never have to wonder whether City Hall has their backs. Surrey needs a strong police force that is fully funded and fully supported by its mayor and council.”

Conservative Party of Surrey mayoral candidate Honveer Singh Randhawa welcomed Dosanjh to the team.

“Sandy has spent her time doing the work, not merely talking about it,” said Randhawa. “Her commitment to young people, public safety and community service makes her a powerful addition to our team. Sandy is a star candidate. She understands that safer streets require both early intervention and police officers who have the resources to do their jobs.”

Dosanjh’s addition now means the Conservative Party of Surrey has six candidates vying for nine council spots. Dosanjh joins Randhawa and Conservative council candidates Ricky Bajwa, Donna Wu, Calvin Vanderploeg and Dan B. Carlos.

The Conservative Party of Surrey says its priorities include making Surrey safer and stronger, keeping taxes low, and putting families first.
