Donna Skelly MPP is a Canadian politician and journalist. Skelly is presently the Deputy Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of Ontario and was first elected in 2018 to the electoral district of Flamborough—Glanbrook with the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario. In 2023, Skelly was appointed to the Executive Committee of the Commonwealth Parliamentary Association. Its mission is to promote the advancement of parliamentary democracy by enhancing knowledge and understanding democratic governance, youth engagement in democracy, gender equality and equal representation.[1]
Prior to entering politics, Skelly worked as a journalist with CHCH-TV in Hamilton, anchoring and producing local and regional television newscasts. Skelly took a leave of absence from CHCH in 2011 to launch the first of two bids for provincial parliament with the Progressive Conservatives in the electoral district of Ancaster—Dundas—Flamborough—Westdale.[2][3] In 2016, Skelly won a by-election to Hamilton City Council. Skelly resigned from council after being elected to the legislature in 2018.
