Mike Crawley was preparing to enter the race for Liberal leader before making a late call to sit it out.
“After taking time to carefully discuss the leadership with my family one last time… I have made the very difficult decision to not move forward with launching a leadership campaign,” the ex-federal party president said in a statement. “There is no doubt that we need to build a new Ontario Liberal Party and after speaking with hundreds of Liberals over recent months, I’m more optimistic than ever about our future.”
Behind the scenes: The campaign was charging ahead, with core messaging prepared and a launch video in the can. Crawley, who had yet to do any interviews, had been expected to begin making media appearances. The calendar was booked out through the end of the month, including a pub night with one local riding association.
