If elected, Ms. Hunter says she would focus on improving services, including transit, and making the city more affordable
Ontario Liberal politician Mitzie Hunter plans to resign her seat in the legislature to run for mayor of Toronto.
“We are a world-class city, we’re an incredible city, but at the same time, there is a need for change to make this city work for everyone,” she said in an interview with The Globe and Mail. First elected provincially in 2013, Ms. Hunter served in several cabinet portfolios in former premier Kathleen Wynne’s government, including as education minister. In the 2018 Ontario election, Ms. Hunter was one of only a handful of Liberal candidates to win as the party was reduced to only seven seats. She placed fourth in the party’s 2020 leadership race to replace Ms. Wynne.
Once Ms. Hunter resigns her seat, Mr. Ford would have to call a by-election in the riding within six months. Scarborough–Guildwood has been won by a Liberal candidate since its creation in 2007.
