Dalton McGuinty Net Worth, Income, Salary, Earnings, Biography

Dalton James Patrick McGuinty, Jr. (born July 19, 1955) is a Canadian politician who represents the province of Ontario. From 2003 until 2013, he served as the 24th Premier of the Canadian province of Ontario. McGuinty is usually considered as having somewhat center-to-left economic views, as shown by his first budget, which raised personal income taxes while also proposing to abolish the province’s corporate capital tax. He has liberal political and social beliefs, supporting abortion rights and same-sex marriage, among other things. 

McGuinty was initially elected to the premiership in 2003, and with his reelection in 2007, he became the first Ontario Liberal premier to win two consecutive majority administrations since Mitchell Hepburn almost seven decades earlier in the province’s history. The 2011 provincial election saw him become the first Liberal premier to serve for a third straight term since Sir Oliver Mowat, when his party was re-elected, albeit by a narrow margin, to the position. On October 15, 2012, McGuinty announced that he will be stepping down from his post as Ontario’s premier and leader of the Liberal Party. Kathleen Wynne was sworn in as Premier of Ontario on February 11, 2013, after a leadership convention of the Ontario Liberal Party. On June 12, 2013, he resigned from his position as a member of the Ontario legislature.
