Long-time Toronto councillor Mike Layton will not be running for re-election in October.
Layton confirmed to CP24 Wednesday that he will not be running for re-election in the upcoming municipal elections. He cited his desire to focus more of his energy on fighting climate change while also “rebalancing his life” so that he can spend more time with his family.
“That’s what I really liked focusing on at City Hall, finding solutions to problems and then scaling them up.” “My second objective in this change of careers is rebalancing my life to have more time with my kids,” he said. “I don’t think that to become a leader of a provincial party, the leader of the official opposition, would actually contribute to that.”
