Mayor Teresa Cascioli?

Hamilton-born millionaire Teresa Cascioli has been tapped to run for mayor.

The 48-year-old philanthropist and entrepreneur says she has been approached to run in October's municipal election and is weighing her options.

"Let's just say that I've been approached to consider it, but I haven't really thought it through yet," she said yesterday. "I think the bottom line is that obviously there is a desire for change. And I think that's why I'm being approached to consider it."

Cascioli, daughter of Italian immigrants, is most known for transforming the near-bankrupt Lakeport Brewing into a fierce competitor in the beer market. Cascioli became the hometown talent behind Lakeport's 24 for $24 campaign.
