Toronto City Councillor Michael Ford has represented the same community and served on the same council as his uncles Doug and Rob Ford both once did. Now, the councillor for Etobicoke North is running as an MPP candidate for Doug Ford's Ontario PC Party.
On Sunday, the Ontario PC Party announced that Michael Ford will be running in the next provincial election as their candidate for York South—Weston.
"Michael is one the hardest working people I know. He gets things done and fights for the people he represents every step of the way," said Doug Ford in the announcement.
"He's proven himself as a strong advocate for his constituents over the last two terms serving on city council and will continue doing so at Queen's Park," the Ontario PC leader added.
According to the press release, Michael Ford has served in public office for nearly a decade. He was elected as a Toronto District School Board Trustee in 2014 and is now serving his second term on Toronto City Council.
"I know that only Doug Ford and the Ontario PC team will get the job done. That is why I am honoured to be your PC candidate for York South—Weston, and look forward to earning your support and building our great community," Michael Ford said in the announcement.
Michael Ford has been a lifelong resident of the west end of Toronto and seeks to unseat NDP MPP Faisal Hassan, who has been representing the York South—Weston riding since 2018.
"The people of York South—Weston deserve a representative at Queen's Park who doesn't just talk and delay, but will get things built and create good-paying jobs for our community," Michael Ford added.
