The 2023 race for mayor

A wide-open field — and three kinds of money.

A note on the data

Contributions come from the City of Toronto's official campaign-finance disclosures — the complete record for each contest, every candidate. We match each donor's postal-code area (the first three characters) to a 2021 Census boundary. The maps shade money from supporters; a candidate's own self-funding is reported separately, not on the map. Contributions with no disclosed postal code, or from outside Toronto, count toward the totals but aren't shaded.

Only individuals may contribute — corporate and union money has been banned since 2009. A donor can give at most $2,500 to a candidate for mayor; "maxed out" counts the gifts at that ceiling. The 2026 figures won't be disclosed until the 2027-03-31 deadline.
