RANA BOKHARI

Rana Bokhari is running to be your next Mayor of Winnipeg. She is a leader who believes all people– including those from marginalized communities– should have a say in the future of their city. 

Born in Anola, Manitoba, Rana went to the University of Manitoba and completed a law degree. She is a practicing lawyer and specializes in helping Indigenous Peoples and marginalized communities wade through complicated and barrier-rich legal processes.

As Mayor of Winnipeg, her commitment to justice and creating space for the voiceless will be the foundation of how she leads.

What people are saying

YOUR Future. YOUR Mayor.

Mental Health

“Over the years, I have come to know Rana, her values, and her passion for caring for
others. As a friend, and as a woman in the political world, I admire her passion, drive,
tenacity, and her unwillingness to back down from challenges, which is exactly what this city needs to move forward.

“She and I both know the obstacles faced by those with mental health and acquired
dependency challenges, and she is the candidate I trust to deliver what is needed.”

 

-Sharon Blady

INNOVATION & TRANSPARENCY

“I want Manitoba to be the IT capital of this country or the innovation capital of this country”

Rana said this in 2015 – well ahead of the innovation exercises we are seeing now. However, Winnipeg can do much better on innovation – whether it is private or public. The City of Winnipeg needs to transform and evolve in how we bring more transparency and make our work more accountable. We should care of resident concerns and they should see that they are being heard.

CRIME PREVENTION

“We have a very large budget – $320 million – to prevent and deal with crime in this city. We need to spend more of that budget on groups and services in our city that prevent crime, so that police officers can do their actual jobs,” says Rana.

She also pledges to revisit the 2013 independent WPS Operational Review and commission another review of the WPS if necessary, as the original has major oversights.

“The last operational review was widely derided by police, city councillors and citizens,” says Rana.
