Michael Shawn Kerzner MPP is a Canadian politician who was elected to the Legislative Assembly of Ontario in the 2022 provincial election. He represents the riding of York Centre as a member of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario.[1]
Kerzner took over from independent MPP Roman Baber who was expelled from the PC caucus on January 15, 2021, for his COVID-19 lockdown stances. It was expected that Baber would run against Kerzner but Baber instead opted to run in the 2022 Conservative Party of Canada leadership race.[2][3]
On June 24, 2022, Kerzner was named Solicitor General of Ontario by Premier Doug Ford.[4]
