About Jack Hartley
Jack Hartley appears on the City of Toronto’s list of certified candidates for Mayor. A certified candidate is one whose nomination the City Clerk has accepted. The list shows the nomination date as August 13, 2026 and gives a campaign website hosted on netlify.app.
The Local's candidate page, updated as of September 21, 2026, says that according to his Instagram he is running to be “Toronto’s youngest mayor,” and that according to his LinkedIn he is completing an internship at Canadian Natural Resources Limited. voche.me did not open either account. His campaign website says he spent a decade running a neighbourhood non-profit and then six years on community and housing boards across the city. voche.me found no independent record of those roles, so they are his campaign's own account.
The footer of the campaign website says the content is placeholder content to be replaced before launch. voche.me did not confirm with the campaign which parts of the platform are meant as proposals. The proposals below are reported as the site words them, and each one is a statement of his campaign website.

Jack Hartley for Mayor of Toronto campaign websiteResearch status
What voche.me has checked
Evidence reviewed on October 4, 2026: the City of Toronto's list of certified candidates, the campaign website he gave the City (a single page, with sections About, Platform, Events, Volunteer and Contact) and The Local's candidate page. His plans come from his campaign website and are written here as his campaign's statements. The Local's account of his Instagram and LinkedIn pages is reported as The Local gives it.
Gaps. The website gave no social media address that voche.me could open, and The Local gives none. His campaign's description of a decade at a non-profit and six years on boards has no independent source. The footer says the content is a placeholder, and the campaign was not asked which proposals it stands behind. No public role is on the profile. The questionnaire has not been sent.
