Horwath to launch NDP leadership bid Friday
November 06, 2008
Spectator Staff
Hamilton Centre MPP Andrea Horwath will officially launch her bid for leadership of the Ontario NDP Friday morning.
Horwath will make the announcement at 11:30 a.m. at the Workers Arts and Heritage Centre at 51 Stuart St. The public is welcome.
Howard Hampton has led the party since 1996 and will officially step down and be replaced at a leadership convention in Hamilton March 7-8.
Horwath is running against MPP Peter Tabuns of Toronto-Danforth, MPP Gilles Bisson of Timmins-James Bay and Michael Prue of Beaches-East York in Toronto.
To spread the word about her announcement, Horwath has uploaded a video on the YouTube website.
The short clip features three people describing what they look for in a leader.
Other videos posted a week ago feature various Hamiltonians, including rocker Tom Wilson, talking about Horwath in relation to specific issues.
