Gila Martow

[3] Martow's maternal grandparents lived on a kibbutz organized by the Hashomer Hatzair Marxist-Zionist[4] youth movement in the early 1930s in Mandatory Palestine (later to become Israel).

During the provincial election that year, she supported Progressive Conservative leader John Tory's plan to create funding among Ontario’s private faith-based schools.

Initially, Racco was declared the winner but the decision was reversed the next day following the official Elections Ontario tally of the vote.

[9] On December 1, 2016, Martow presented a motion in the legislature rejecting the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign against Israel.

[10] After the Progressive Conservatives formed government following the 2018 provincial election, Martow was appointed Parliamentary Assistant to Labour Minister Laurie Scott by Premier Doug Ford.

[15][16] As a result of announcing her candidacy for the federal nomination, she was required to relinquish her Parliamentary Assistant role in the provincial legislature and was not permitted to run in the 2022 Ontario general election as a Progressive Conservative candidate.
