Lorne Coe, the MPP for Elliott's old riding of Whitby-Oshawa, also offered his endorsement.

Both Clark and MacLeod were initially rumoured to be potential leadership candidates themselves, but each has decided against a run for the top job.
It was attended by former Tory legislator Christine Elliott, former Toronto city councillor Doug Ford, and parental rights activist Tanya Granic Allen. Toronto lawyer Caroline Mulroney declined an invitation.
At first blush, Ford doesn't make a heck of a lot of sense as a magnet for so-con votes. But Charles McVety, head of Canada Christian College and a longtime leader on the Christian Right, is already foursquare behind him.
Tanya Granic Allen was an upwardly mobile 20-something woman in Toronto: She lived in a Bay Street condo, worked at least 60 hours a week as a political staffer at City Hall, went out "constantly" with friends, and hosted fabulous parties.
The Campaign Life Coalition — Canada's biggest anti-abortion group — will throw its support behind Granic Allen, said spokesman Jack Fonseca.

Greg Rickford is one of five former federal MPs and current provincial PC candidates to back Caroline Mulroney to be the next leader of the Ontario Progressive Conservatives... The other MP5 members are London North Centre's Susan Truppe, Milton's Parm Gill, Hastings-Lennox and Addington's Daryl Kramp and Markham-Stoufville's Paul Calandra.

Moments after Mr. Dykstra's announcement, Mr. Fedeli said he planned to run for the permanent leadership. 'I fully expect to be the leader that takes us into the election. I was made party leader by the caucus in a unanimous decision [on Friday],' he said.
Just today, another rookie candidate, Pickering–Uxbridge's Peter Bethlenfalvy, confirmed to me in a phone call that he's considering a run at the leadership; he wants to bring his wealth of experience in the financial sector to the contest.
