Jamaal Myers

Jamaal Myers appears on the City of Toronto's list of certified candidates for Councillor in Ward 23 Scarborough North. A certified candidate is one whose nomination the City Clerk has accepted. The list shows the nomination date as May 19, 2026 and gives his campaign website, electjamaalmyers.com. voche.me treats that site as the campaign's own statement.

The City's Members of Council page lists Councillor Jamaal Myers for Scarborough North. His City profile, which ends with the line "Information provided by the Councillor", says he was elected as the councillor for Ward 23 on October 24, 2022, was born and raised in Scarborough, earned degrees from the University of Western Ontario, the London School of Economics and New York University School of Law, worked as a corporate lawyer in New York City and then as a senior lawyer at the Toronto-Dominion Bank, and served as Vice Chair of the TAIBU Community Health Centre. The page lists his seats as the Audit Committee, the Budget Committee, the Planning and Housing Committee, Scarborough Community Council, the Toronto Accessibility Advisory Committee (Chair) and the Toronto Transit Commission (Chair), and his Business Improvement Area seat as the Sheppard East Village BIA. The page shows July 31, 2026 as its modification date and gives no start date for the Chair roles, so voche.me states none from the City. His campaign says he was appointed Chair of the TTC in 2023.

The City Clerk's declaration of results for the October 24, 2022 general election lists him first among 3 candidates for Councillor in Ward 23 Scarborough North, with 5,315 votes, marked elected. Phillip Francis was second with 2,755 and Virginia Jones third with 2,333. The 3 declared totals add up to 10,403 votes, so his share was 51.1 percent, calculated by voche.me from those figures.

His campaign website, the campaign's own account, lists what it says were results of his first term: three years of frozen TTC fares, a sixplex housing pilot in Scarborough North that it says helped the City secure federal funding for affordable rental homes, funding for the Scarborough Busway and for widening Steeles Avenue between Tapscott and Ninth Line, youth hubs at two libraries and a funded hub at Agincourt Recreation Centre, road safety changes, and a community benefits agreement for a new long-term care home at Finch and Brimley. voche.me read no City record behind these figures and repeats none of the dollar amounts.

TTCriders' Ward 23 page records that he answered Yes to all 18 of its transit questions. In its comments section he wrote that he disagrees with TTCriders' assessment that police, special constables and fare inspectors do not add to TTC safety, and that he supports them together with upstream services and design changes such as better lighting. Build Canada's Ward 23 page records his answers to its questionnaire. He answered Yes to permitting more housing as of right in every ward, Yes to road pricing with the revenue dedicated to transportation, and Yes to raising additional local revenue for infrastructure repairs. On the greatest additional investment for public safety he chose "Lighting, maintenance, sanitation and active use of streets and parks". These are his answers to an advocacy group's survey and to a news organization's questionnaire.

The Local's tracker, updated September 21, 2026, describes his first term, including a multiplex pilot in his ward, a motion on the old Scarborough RT track and a requirement for disabled members on the Housing Rights Advisory Committee. It also describes a vote at a closed TTC board meeting in October 2023. That vote rests on The Local alone. voche.me read no City or TTC minutes of it and no response from him, so it is not repeated. The Local and his own site list endorsements, which are the endorsers' own statements.
