Caroline Mulroney is running to become the leader of Ontario's Progressive Conservative Party.
The Toronto lawyer and daughter of former prime minister Brian Mulroney, confirmed the news in a series of interviews yesterday.
The 43-year-old mother of four said despite the recent turmoil within the party after the sudden resignation of former leader Patrick Brown, the Tories can come together and win the June 7th election.

Mulroney, who's never held elected office, said she'll stick to the P-C pledge to cancel the Ontario government's cap-and-trade climate change plan, but hinted she'll keep the Tory platform's carbon tax.
Toronto politician Doug Ford, brother of the city's late former mayor Rob Ford, is also in the leadership race, which will be decided on March 10th.
