_ Originally from Toronto, Brown is one of four children, who absorbed by osmosis the strength, resilience and creativity her materâ€" nal grandmother exuded in the face of hardship. f Brown, who was defeated by }‘(;)tto Jelinek in the last election, is eading back into the federal campaign arena. She is asking for khe voters‘ trust and their confiâ€" dence to take the Oakvilleâ€"Milton riding â€" where she has resided for more than 20 years â€" through the next four years, to transform this longtime Toryâ€"entrenched area into Liberal territory. This lady with the ready smile, seemingly does it all, effortlessly and willingly, always available "to get my bones over there" when a call for help goes out. With all her experience and sucâ€" cess to date, however, there is one office which has eluded her â€" Member of Parliament. â€"_"I‘m a real extrovert," smiles the 52â€"yearâ€"old Brown. "I need to be with people." I She has been both a Town and Regional Councillor as well as a trustee with the Halton Separate School Board.

Wycroft Ra l Brown began to etch an identity, when she entered the teaching proâ€" fession, but found herself in and out of the classroom as she raised four daughters â€" who now range in age from 19 and 30. She also had her first brush with politics as a young mother and decided that not only did she like it, but that "political organization came easy for me." "I had some involvement in Sudbury with a municipal election. Both women in her life were strong and communityâ€"minded, says Brown. mother was very brilliant in school, but because of a lack of financial security, there was no money for her to go to university. It was a terâ€" rible waste of a brain."
