About Raquel
First elected in 2019, Raquel has been a strong advocate for our community. As threats to Canada’s sovereignty rise, living costs soar, and violent crime increases, Raquel’s experience, communications skills, and leadership in Parliament are more important than ever.
As Vice-Chair of Canada’s Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security, Raquel has championed stronger national defence, bail reform, and tougher sentencing to protect women, children, and vulnerable Canadians. After a decade of Liberal soft-on-crime policies that increased violent crime by 50 percent, we need a strong Conservative government to get tough on crime.
Raquel ran to fight for everyday Canadians. After 10 years of Liberal mismanagement, many Canadians are worse off. Inflation is high, billions of dollars of investment have fled to the U.S., and Canada has the weakest G7 economy due to irresponsible Liberal spending, high taxes, and anti-development policies. Raquel has opposed these reckless measures and will continue advocating for a strong economy, good jobs, low taxes, and responsible spending of taxpayer dollars.
Re-electing Raquel Dancho ensures a strong, experienced voice in Parliament—one committed to defending Canada’s sovereignty, strengthening our economy, and creating safe, affordable communities for families, seniors, and all Canadians.





Raquel has fought for safer communities by calling for stricter bail laws for repeat violent offenders and advocated for victims of intimate partner violence by sponsoring Bill S-205. She continues to fight for safe streets and communities as the Conservative Party’s shadow minister for Public Safety, holding the Liberal government to account for irresponsible policies around drugs, dangerous criminals, and soaring vehicle thefts.
Raquel was honoured as a 2021 finalist for the Maclean’s magazine Rising Star Award. She was voted by her MP colleagues as Ottawa’s Favourite Up-and-Comer for the annual Hill Times All Politics Poll in 2021, 2022, and 2023 respectively. Raquel was also voted as the Best Opposition MP in Scrums (news media communication) for the Hill Times Politically Savvy Survey in 2023.
In her free time, Raquel enjoys cooking French cuisine for her loved ones, and being in the great outdoors with her husband Scott, their daughter Elizabeth, and their Alaskan Malamute Odin.
