She said in a message to a small group of supporters and Mississauga councillors on Sunday that she\u2019ll register to run on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlease join me as I officially register as a candidate,\u201d Crombie wrote. \u201cI\u2019d love to have you there as we mark this exciting moment together.\u201d<\/p>\n
Crombie, 65, served as Mississauga mayor for a decade, from 2014 to 2024, succeeding longtime mayor Hazel McCallion.<\/p>\n
She resigned as mayor in 2024 after winning the Ontario Liberal Party leadership race the previous year.<\/p>\n
Crombie lost the election to Doug Ford in February 2025. She stepped down as Liberal leader following a weak leadership review from her party in September.<\/p>\n
Crombie had replaced party leader Steven Del Duca in December 2023. She didn\u2019t win a seat in the provincial legislature during the 2025 election last February, losing in a close vote to Silvia Gualtieri of the Conservatives.<\/p>\n
\u201cI am looking forward to spending more time with my family, including welcoming my first grandchild, while giving the party the space it needs to move forward with new leadership,\u201d Crombie said in announcing her resignation at the time.<\/p>\n
