Biography

submitted by the candidate or their team
I’m Jorge Requena Ramos, running for NDP in Winnipeg South Centre. I’m not a politician - I’m a filmmaker, musician & community advocate fighting for fairness, inclusion & real change. Let’s build a future where everyone can thrive.

I’m Not a Politician - I’m a Community Advocate.

As a first-generation immigrant, I came to Canada with a deep appreciation for its hardworking people, diverse cultures, and powerful sense of community. I never set out to be a politician. My journey has been through music, film, business, and grassroots advocacy.

As co-founder of Prairie Boy Productions and frontman of the award-winning band The Mariachi Ghost, I’ve spent my life telling stories that unite people. At the West End Cultural Centre, I’ve worked to build inclusive spaces and empower local voices. Every project I’ve taken on has been rooted in one goal: helping all people thrive.

Now, I’m bringing that same energy, passion, and commitment to the political arena - because I’m deeply dissatisfied with the current Liberal leadership, and seriously concerned about what a Conservative future would mean for us.

Reason for running

submitted by the candidate or their team
I’m running because working families are struggling, small businesses are hurting, and communities are being left behind. I want to bring real change to Parliament, rooted in justice, inclusion, and community, not politics as usual.

I decided to run because I believe our community deserves more than empty promises. As a first-generation immigrant, artist, and advocate, I have spent my life working to build spaces where people feel seen, heard, and valued. I have seen firsthand how policy decisions impact real lives - especially for working families, small business owners, artists, and marginalized communities.

I am running because I am deeply concerned about the direction our country is heading. The current Liberal government often talks about progress but fails to deliver on the issues that matter most. Meanwhile, the Conservatives threaten to roll back hard-won gains by prioritizing corporate interests over people.

I want to bring a new kind of leadership to Parliament. Leadership that is rooted in community, shaped by lived experience, and focused on creating a more fair, inclusive, and affordable Canada. This campaign is not about political ambition. It is about standing up for what matters and making sure every voice in Winnipeg South Centre is represented with honesty, courage, and care.
