Damerla previously served as a Liberal Party of Ontario MPP under the pro-abortion Kathleen Wynne. Subsequently she ran for City Council Ward 7 and won. While an MPP, she betrayed our constitutional right to free speech, freedom of assembly, and the right to protest, Damerla voted in favour a draconian Liberal bill to establish "No Free Speech Zones" around all Ontario abortion facilities. The unconstitutional Bill 163 banned pro-life witness and free speech on taxpayer-owned, public sidewalks within a radius of up to 150 metres. It will put peaceful, pro-life sidewalk counsellors and demonstrators in jail for 6 months, along with the possibility of a $5000 fine for the first "offense". This bill will directly result in the deaths of many more preborn children who could have been saved by pro-life sidewalk counsellors, as so many thousands have been over the years. In 2013, she voted in favour of Bill 13 which destroyed parental rights & religious freedom in Ontario schools. The tyrannical legislation forced Catholic schools to accept student-led, homosexual-activist clubs, which completely undermines Catholic moral teaching. The legislation also made it mandatory for all schools to accept the dangerous philosophical ideology of "Gender Identity", which teaches children that their being male or female has nothing to do with their biological reality, and is merely a "social construct". In June 2024, she ran in a by-election for Mayor of Mississauga, and finished in third place with 19.4% of the vote.

1. Organizations like Planned Parenthood (PP) routinely counsel women to have abortions, and increasingly, are involved in dispensing the chemical abortion pill. Given that abortion is a controversial practice that many taxpayers in your municipality find abhorrent, do you agree that PP and similar “sexual health agencies" should not receive taxpayer funds through the municipality? survey not sentsurvey not sentNo (based on voting record as MPP)
2. Do you acknowledge that human life begins at conception (fertilization)? survey not sentsurvey not sent--
3. Do you consider yourself pro-life or pro-choice? survey not sentsurvey not sentpro-choice (based on voting record as MPP)
4. There has been a move in some municipal jurisdictions to pass bylaws which establish censorship zones, also called “bubble zones”, around abortion facilities. These unconstitutional censorship zones make it illegal to express peaceful pro-life speech, including silent prayer, on taxpayer-owned public sidewalks within the vicinity of abortion facilities and pharmacies which dispense abortion pills. If elected, would you vote to oppose such a censorship bylaw, if it were ever proposed? survey not sentsurvey not sentNo (based on voting record as MPP)
