Kathy Borrelli is a Canadian politician from the Conservative Party of Canada. She was elected Member of Parliament for Windsor—Tecumseh—Lakeshore in the 2025 Canadian federal election.[1] Borrelli previously ran in the 2021 Canadian federal election, placing third.[2]

Her predecessor, Liberal MP Irek Kusmierczyk sought and obtained a court order for a judicial recount after the Elections Canada validation of election night results reduced the margin of victory from 233 to 77, just 7 short of an automatic 1/1000 votes cast for such a recount.[3] On May 23, 2025, the recount concluded, further reducing Borrelli's margin of victory to just four votes.[4]
