The race for Toronto's top job is heating up as former councillor Ana Bailao has officially announced she is running for mayor.
Since the mayor's office came up for grabs following the resignation of John Tory, Bailao had been speculated to be one of the possible contenders for the job. Two weeks ago, she told CP24 she was eyeing a possible run for mayor.
During her 12-year tenure, Bailao was the city's housing advocate and served as deputy mayor. She was a key ally of Tory during his time in office. Meanwhile, other high-profile names who have said they are exploring the possibility of becoming the head of city council include Scarborough MPP Mitzie Hunter, former Toronto police chief Mark Saunders and current councillors Brad Bradford and Josh Matlow.
