TORONTO – Another Ontario Liberal caucus member has joined the race to become the party’s next leader.

Stephanie Bowman, who represents Don Valley West for the party in the legislature, says she wants to build a party that is competitive across the province.

She had served as campaign co-chair for fellow caucus member Rob Cerjanec until he dropped out of the race last month.

Bowman worked in finance before being elected in 2022, including serving as a member of the Bank of Canada’s board.

Lee Fairclough, who represents Etobicoke-Lakeshore, is the other caucus member in the race that concludes Nov. 21.

Former federal cabinet minister Navdeep Bains, housing advocate Eric Lombardi and former political staffer Dylan Marando are also in the running.
