Robert Benzie - Queen's Park Bureau Chief7 hrs ago Progressive Conservative Leader Patrick Brown is poised to get a star candidate for next years election Caroline Mulroney. © Tom Sandler Caroline Mulroney, shown in 2016, announced Wednesday she will seek the Tory nomination in the riding of York-Simcoe for next year's provincial election. Mulroney, whose father Brian Mulroney was prime minister from 1984 until 1993, announced Wednesday she will seek the Tory nomination in the riding of York-Simcoe I believe that Ontario finds itself at a crossroads, the Harvard-educated lawyer and mother of four said in a statement. This election is about offering a positive vision for Ontario one that respects taxpayers money and delivers economic growth and well-paying jobs to the province, said Mulroney. Making life more affordable for you and your family will guide everything I do at Queens Park. Unlike the current government, I will respect the people of Ontario, their hard-earned money, and the choices they make for their families, she said. As a working mother of four, I am concerned about the future of Ontario and I want to do my part to put it back on a path to prosperity. Id be honoured to get to work with Patrick Brown and the Ontario Progressive Conservative Party. Currently a vice-president of a Toronto investment firm, she has worked in Canada and the United States and has a home in Georgina, which is in York-Simcoe. CBC first reported in June that Mulroney was interested in running provincially. Her father has given Brown political advice in recent years and she has some influential supporters, including retiring York-Simcoe MPP Julia Munro and current York-Simcoe MP Peter Van Loan. She is a smart business leader with a knack for building consensus and getting results, said Munro. Van Loan added that Caroline is a great listener, she cares, and she wants to build a better future. Her candidacy would give the Tories the kind of dynastic star power enjoyed by the federal Liberals, who are led by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, son for former prime minister Pierre Trudeau.
