Stephanie Bowman is a mom, an accountant, a former bank executive and a respected community leader. Before becoming an MPP, she served as a member of the board of the Bank of Canada, where she assisted with the oversight of capital projects and corporate governance. 

As an MPP, Stephanie has put forward several pieces of progressive legislation designed to help families and make life easier for Ontarians. This year, she tabled the Cutting Taxes on Small Businesses Act which, if passed, would cut the small business tax rate by half.

Throughout the years, she has partnered extensively with organizations committed to building a strong economy, improving access to quality education and empowering diversity and inclusivity.
