Patrick Brown took to Twitter to announce that he’s officially thrown his hat in the ring to become Chair of Peel Region.
The position had previously been appointed but will now be elected for the first time.
Filed my papers this morning to run for @regionofpeel Chair. Looking forward to fighting for the people of Peel. #FairDealForPeel #RegionofPeel #WorkingWithYou #Jobs #Taxes #PublicSafety #Gridlock #Brampton #Mississauga #Caledon #PeelPoli pic.twitter.com/0ohOhC54se

Brown stepped down as Tory leader in January after two women came forward with allegations of sexual misconduct against him, allegations he has consistently denied.
He’s filed a defamation lawsuit against CTV news, which first reported the allegations. He’s also writing a tell-all book detailing what he describes as his “political assassination.”
