Brad Bradford
Running for Mayor of Toronto
One of the strongest challengers in polling, and the only candidate here with a confirmed ethics finding against him.

Each position pairs what they say with what they did.
Housing
Supports
What they did:
Campaign emphasises housing, reducing traffic congestion, public safety and improving City services. Opponents say he has changed positions on policing, transit funding and rent control.
OAC flags
OAC opinion · evidence-based, not neutral
- Reprimanded by council. In 2023 the Integrity Commissioner found he improperly used City resources, including staff and his councillor newsletter, to benefit his campaign.
- Cash-for-access complaint. In 2026 Progress Toronto filed a complaint over a lobbyist-organised paid fundraising event. This is an allegation, not a finding.
