Jennifer McKelvie said Friday she felt free to endorse a candidate once city council had wrapped up this week.
McKelvie, who has led city government since former mayor John Tory abruptly resigned in February, said at a press conference with Bailão in front of city hall on Friday that the former Davenport councillor is “the best choice to lead Toronto forward.
Less than two hours before the joint press conference, the city issued a news release marking progress on its Housing Now program, an initiative Bailão led when she was a councillor. The release could help Bailão, whose opponents have spent weeks hammering her on Housing Now’s disappointing results to date.
“That was released prior to this announcement,” she said. “The legislative agenda is now complete, and I am exercising my right to support a good candidate.”
