Rumours are swirling that Don Valley West MPP Stephanie Bowman may be considering a run for leader of the Ontario Liberal Party.
In a statement, her office said that it was “still too early to tell whether MPP Bowman will consider running for leader.”
The race was sparked after current Ontario Liberal leader Bonnie Crombie received what was considered a weak 57 per cent support in a leadership review and, shortly after, announced her resignation.
No one has officially tossed their hat in the ring, but other leading names include Dr. Adil Shamji (MPP, Don Valley East), Karina Gould (MP, Burlington), and Nathaniel Erskine-Smith (MP, Beaches-East York), who finished second to Crombie in the last leadership race.
A date for the selection of a new leader has yet to be announced, but you can be sure we’ll be keeping a close eye on whether MPP Bowman throws her hat in the ring.
