Lisa MacLeod, MPP for Nepean-Carleton: Like Fedeli, MacLeod ran in the previous PC leadership vote before withdrawing. Christine Elliott, a former Ontario PC leadership contender who lost to Brown in 2015, has also come up, though she is no longer involved in politics. Ginny Movat, of Crestview Strategy, says it's more likely — and more desirable — for the PCs to take the plunge into a leadership election in the coming weeks. He said the PC leader must have a "clear mandate" from the party's "some 200,000 members." Neither Mulroney nor Phillips, however, has elected political experience, Movat noted — a potential knock against them in a leadership race against more experienced politicians.
