Claire Seaborn, a Bay Street lawyer and former chief of staff to former federal minister Jonathan Wilkinson, plans to run for the Liberal nomination in Toronto's BeachesEast York riding.
Seaborn said she has received encouragement from local supporters and believes the riding should be strongly represented in Ottawa. Her background includes work in environmental law, public policy, and major project development.
She previously served as a senior aide in the last Liberal government and left Parliament Hill in April 2024. The riding is expected to be vacated by Liberal MP Nathaniel ErskineSmith in the coming weeks, though he has not formally resigned yet.
