Jessica Bell, MPP for University-Rosedale
“People in Toronto know and trust Olivia to have their back. That’s because Olivia has a proven track record fighting for Toronto. The legacy of her work lives on today, from dental care to school meal programs. Imagine the legacy she will build as mayor – getting the city building homes again, improving the public transit so many people rely on, and so much more. People in Toronto have hope right now thanks to Olivia, that's why we're seeing her momentum growing.”
Chris Glover, MPP for Spadina–Fort York
“Toronto needs a mayor that understands how much harder it is to get around the city, find and keep an affordable roof over your head, and access services and supports when and where you need them in the city. We’re all tired of the status quo and Olivia is the right choice to bring progressive change. In Olivia, Torontonians will have the champion we need to fix our city services so we can have the more affordable, caring, safer city we all want to see.”
