Brampton, Ont., Mayor Patrick Brown says, he will be seeking re-election in October’s municipal election
Brown filed his papers in Brampton alongside his wife Genevieve Gualtieri-Brown and their two children on Monday.
Brown said it has been “the greatest privilege” to serve as the city’s mayor for the last four years, adding that his team has “done a lot of great work together at city hall.”
Brown said he is “looking forward” to four more years and said he is “excited” for the challenges ahead.
On Sunday, Brown’s team said the politician would be making an announcement regarding “his future plans in public service.”
The news comes after the Conservative Party of Canada disqualified him as a candidate for its leadership earlier this month.
In a previous statement, Ian Brodie, chair of the Leadership Election Organizing Committee (LEOC), said Brown was disqualified after the chief returning officer investigated allegations against the Brown campaign of violating the financial provisions of the Canada Elections Act.
Brown has denied the allegations and is appealing the party’s decision.
