Peter MacKay gets a kiss from daughter Valentia, 4, as he sits with his wife Nazanin Afshin-Jam MacKay to watch the results of the Conservative leadership contest on Sunday, Aug. 23, 2020. A renewed public profile could help him raise donations to pay down a campaign debt of roughly $1 million. His debt is roughly double what celebrity businessman Kevin O'Leary racked up during his failed run at the Conservative leadership in 2017. His campaign also seemed to end the leadership race much deeper in debt than at least two of his rivals. While he acknowledged the campaign needs to retire "close to" $1 million in debt, MacKay said he hopes to cut down the total through negotiations with vendors.
