Tony Roman

Roman served as the Township Councillor (1966–1968), Mayor of the Town of Markham, Ontario, from 1970 to 1984, Chair of the Regional Municipality of York in 1984.

Roman won the 1984 election in York North largely because of the controversial views of Progressive Conservative MP John Gamble.

[citation needed] Roman used the Progressive Conservative blue and Liberal red on his signs, and drew supporters from both parties.

Roman did not seek re-election to the House of Commons in 1988 but instead endorsed Micheal O'Brien as the Progressive Conservative Candidate.

Roman's name lives on in Markham: Bold indicates parties with members elected to the House of Commons.
