Says in this article that Tracy Gray is considering a run at the Cannan's old seat....

I don't know much about her -- besides a connection to Wally....what does she bring to the federal table?

[cv23]

About as much as she brought to the COK Council table.

[WalterWhite]

The fact she's served a term on council and this question needs to be asked speaks volumes imho.

[lesliepaul]

…………..a NOBODY!

Just wants to add another "association" behind her name. Makes her feel important.

[Scrobins94]

Sounds like she will be in politics based on her history and ties.

[voice of reason]

she is a board member at prospera credit union

she is a board member at prospera credit union

That doesn't mean a lot, actually. It just means that Prospera Credit Union likely valued her business when she ran a couple of wine retailing stores (she owned Discover Wines in Orchard Plaza and at some other location, as well as online, but sold those licenses to Save On Foods, which allowed Save On Foods to open their Wines of BC retail section at their Orchard Plaza grocery store. :)

Her husband, Larry Gray, is a nephew (Edit: yep, http://www.kelownadailycourier.ca/news/ ... b2370.html) of former mayor Walter Gray and runs his own commercial vehicle leasing company - can't remember which one. Edit: it's called Connect Lease (source: https://connectlease.com/meet-the-team/).

Cheers,

If you have to ask there is a problem. If you care to know do your research.

^^Umm....I think the reason the OP started this thread WAS to do research... don't ya think?

And I think for the most part, he/she has been pretty successful.

Heard a rumour that Walter's golden boy son Dallas might be looking at civic politics. Good luck Kelowna.

OUCH!!

[Fancy]

Kinda wondering why the "ouch" comment more than a year later.
And just in case anyone is wondering:

Tracy Gray is currently projected to win 43 per cent of the popular vote

[bornhere63]

Sort of think that projection in her favour has more to to do with Trudeau being in disfavour. Don't agree with most of her City Council decisions and can't imagine she'll do better for us, if anything, at the federal table.

Well now I've learned something new. I always assumed she was Walter's daughter. But she's in fact married to his nephew? How 'bout that.

I do know she attended every council meeting for a year or two before running for a seat.
