Andrea Horwath, who helmed Ontario’s NDP for more than a decade before stepping down last month, announced a plan Tuesday to run for mayor in her hometown of Hamilton.

Horwath said she thought long and hard about her decision and will be leaving her provincial seat to run in the October municipal election.
