Toronto municipal electionJohn Kladitis appears on the City of Toronto’s list of certified candidates for Councillor in Ward 14 Toronto-Danforth. A certified candidate is one whose nomination the City Clerk has accepted. The list shows the nomination date as August 21, 2026 and the campaign website torontodanforthconnected.ca.
His campaign home page, the campaign’s own statement, says he has run for office at the municipal, provincial and federal levels. The City Clerk’s declaration of results for the February 13, 2017 by-election for Councillor in Ward 42 Scarborough-Rouge River lists a John Kladitis with 30 votes among 29 candidates, tied at 30 with two others. Neethan Shan was elected with 4,765. The 29 declared totals add up to 10,418 votes, so the entry’s share was 0.29 percent, calculated by voche.me from those figures. The City’s document gives only a name. The Local’s Ward 14 tracker says John Kladitis ran for council in Ward 42 in 2017 and placed 18th out of 29 candidates, so that source ties the entry to him. voche.me did not find his provincial run in any source.
The Local also says he ran for federal office in 2019. Beach Metro published his answers on October 15, 2019 as a candidate in the federal riding of Toronto-Danforth. In them he said his platform was “to sue the government to save the planet” over climate change, and that he supports a national ban on handguns and semi-automatic assault rifles. These are his own 2019 words.
His 2026 site says he started a Toronto-Danforth Residents WhatsApp group that, by the campaign’s own account, had more than 165 members, and that he chose a website name that refers to the ward. It lists six priorities: keeping property taxes below the rate of inflation, noise protection along the Ontario Line, public safety with no supervised consumption sites in the ward, fair housing for tenants and landlords, a cleaner and greener ward, and stronger local businesses. A separate page sets out a 100-day plan with monthly town halls and a public online dashboard of campaign commitments. The Local says he had no platform available online when it published.

John Kladitis · First 100 DaysEvidence reviewed on October 4, 2026: the City of Toronto’s list of certified candidates, its Members of Council page and Councillor Fletcher’s profile page, the City Clerk’s declaration of results for the 2017 Ward 42 by-election, three pages of his campaign website (home page, Six Priorities and First 100 Days), Beach Metro’s 2019 interview and The Local’s Ward 14 tracker. The sitting Ward 14 councillor on the City’s Members of Council page is Paula Fletcher, whose City profile page shows July 31, 2026 as its modification date. The City’s data shows her withdrawn from the Ward 14 race on August 19, 2026, and The Local says she is not seeking re-election. The 18 candidates for Ward 14 on the City’s list are Maqsood Ahmad, Susan Chapelle, Michael Connor, Dennis Corcoran, Robb Dagenais, Peter De Marco, Sara Ehrhardt, George Fawcett, Mary Fragedakis, John Kladitis, Michael Mitchell, Caryma Sa'd, Dianne Saxe, Devyn Stackhouse, Jason Stevens, Christiane Tetreault, Maria Voutsinas and Denise Walcott. The Local says Robb Dagenais announced on September 7 that he is withdrawing, and that his name stays on the ballot. Every statement taken from his campaign website is written as the campaign’s own account.
Gaps. The Local’s statement that he ran in 2019 is supported by Beach Metro’s interview. The federal result was not read from Elections Canada, so no vote count is given. The provincial run named on his site was not found. His WhatsApp group is private and its size is the campaign’s own claim. His age is on the site and is left out. His music video and social media accounts were not opened. No 2026 debate or all-candidates meeting for the ward was found. The questionnaire has not been sent.
