Councillor Giorgio Mammoliti will seek the nomination to run for the Ontario Progressive Conservative party in Brampton. Mammoliti says he plans to keep his council seat, but not collect his salary, and will run again for council if he loses provincially. As a councillor, Mammoliti has often been in trouble with the city watchdog monitoring council conduct and has frequently missed meetings. Councillor Giorgio Mammoliti gave one of his most memorable speeches in a debate on a bid to host the 2008 Olympics. As both an MPP and councillor, Mammoliti has taken many controversial positions.
