Kerzner succeeded to the seat independent MPP Roman Baber. Baber had been elected as a Progressive Conservative, but 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 in the general election, 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]
