Before entering politics, she was a chair of the Great Ride to Beat Cancer and a member of Canadians Against Violence Everywhere Advocating its Termination (CAVEAT). Ross was elected to the Ontario legislature in the 1995 Provincial Election , defeating incumbent New Democrat Richard Allen by over 4,000 votes in the riding of Hamilton West . This was generally regarded as an upset, as the Tories had not won the riding since 1971 . Ross served as a backbench supporter of Mike Harris 's government for the next four years. In the 1999 Provincial Election , Ross lost to NDP Member Of Provincial Parliament (MPP) David Christopherson by over 3,000 votes, after Christopherson's old riding of Hamilton Centre was eliminated by redistribution. Ross has not sought a political comeback since this time.
