Former councillor Mike Layton says he will not be taking a run at the mayor’s office.
A number of people had been urging him to run for mayor since the sudden resignation of John Tory, he said in a statement, and he had been taking their “appeals to heart.”
He added in his statement that while he will not be running himself, he is encouraging people to pay attention and to “vote for a candidate who is genuinely committed to making life better for people.” Former councillor and deputy mayor Denzil Minnan-Wong said that he was considering it but later released a statement saying that he would not run because he wants to spend more time with his young family.
