Almost a week after polling her supporters whether to drop out of the Toronto mayoral race to run for city council, Sarah Thomson has announced to have made up her mind to step down from the race for Toronto City Council’s top job. The poll was posted on Thomson’s website on Sept. 3, which openly asked whether she should continue in the race for mayor.
Thereafter, Thomson filed the paperwork to run for a council seat on Tuesday, which effectively ended her mayoral campaign. Meanwhile, Thomson urged other candidates to stop Rob Ford from winning, alleging that “we’ve done some polling and we’ve seen that Rob Ford and John Tory are neck-and-neck.” Addressing the media surrounded by a group of supporters outside City Hall, Thomson declared that “I’m calling on everyone who is trailing to look at what the polling numbers are, the day before the election if they have to wait, but we all have to come together as a city and stop Rob Ford from getting in.”
In addition to that, Thomson went beyond and also advised other candidates to follow her lead in throwing their support behind the candidate most likely to beat Ford. Thomson will be running in Ward 20 Trinity-Spadina. Her campaign had previously made headlines when she rode up to City Hall on a horse in downtown traffic to file her papers to run for mayor. Almost a week later, she published a spoof video of the song “Timber” by Pitbull and Kesha, focusing on Toronto transit issues.
