Dr. Kellie Leitch
Kellie Leitch, the MP for Simcoe-Grey, will run for the leadership of the Conservative Party, according to The Canadian Press. Leitch, 45, is an orthopedic surgeon with a distinguished academic background. Leitch has been assembling a team for weeks to support her bid and has already been holding fundraisers and speaking to party faithful to raise her own profile. Leitch won the Collingwood area riding in 2015 with more than 46 percent of the vote despite a losing tide against her party nationally.
