Pettapiece congratulates new PC leader Doug Ford
March 12, 2018
Today, Perth-Wellington MPP Randy Pettapiece issued the following statement about the election of Doug Ford as the Leader of the Ontario PC Party:
“Over the weekend, we learned that PC members elected Doug Ford as the new Leader of our party. I accept the result, and would like to congratulate Doug and the other candidates – Christine Elliott, Caroline Mulroney, and Tanya Granic Allen – on a hard-fought campaign.
“With our new Leader in place, we must now turn out attention to a single, necessary goal: replacing Kathleen Wynne and the Liberals on June 7th. Ontario urgently needs to get rid of the self-serving Liberal government.
“I am fully confident that, with Doug Ford at the helm, we can bring much-needed change to Ontario. We will work tirelessly to make life more affordable for Ontario families; restore accountability and respect for taxpayers; and put the interests of hardworking Ontarians first.
“I’m especially pleased to hear that Christine Elliott will run as a PC candidate in the upcoming campaign. Christine has exactly the mix of experience and talent that a new PC government will need.
“As MPP for Perth-Wellington, I will continue to work for the interests and values of the people of Perth-Wellington. This will remain my top priority.”
