Christine Elliott has the support of Peterborough-Kawartha candidate David Smith when she brings her Progressive Conservative leadership campaign to Peterborough on Tuesday.
Elliott will hold a rally at 4 p.m. at the Peterborough Naval Association Clubhouse on Whitlaw Street.
Her visit comes three days after riding candidate David Smith endorsed Elliott as the party’s next leader. Elliott is running against former party leader Patrick Brown, Doug Ford, Caroline Mulroney and Tonya Granic Allen.
“Christine offers the perfect combination of fiscal responsibility, education, experience and integrity with her pledge of open votes on issues of conscience,” stated Smith.
Progressive Conservatives will vote for their new leader from March 2-8 with the winner to be announced on March 10. The provincial election is June 7.
