Candidate for Councillor in Ward 9 Davenport, running on accountability, safety and affordability.
Marco Martins is on the City of Toronto’s list of certified candidates for Councillor in Ward 9 Davenport, with a nomination filed on August 10, 2026. His campaign website says he has run community events with neighbours for many years. The Local describes him as a realtor and says little information about him is available online.
Marco Martins appears on the City of Toronto’s list of certified candidates for Councillor in Ward 9 Davenport. A certified candidate is one whose nomination the City Clerk has accepted. The list shows the nomination date as August 10, 2026 and the campaign website votemarcomartins.ca.
His campaign website says he is running to bring “practical judgment, direct accountability and neighbourhood-level service” to the councillor’s office. It says that for many years he has run community projects with his neighbours: an outdoor natural-ice skating rink in winter, and clean-up and reuse events in spring. These are the campaign’s statements, and voche.me did not check them. The site gives no occupation, employer or earlier public role.
The Local’s Ward 9 tracker, updated as of September 21, 2026, says Marco Martins is a realtor and that little information about him is available online. voche.me found no other source for his occupation, so the occupation is The Local’s statement.
His website also states that property taxes in Davenport rose 26 percent since the last election, and that the ward receives half of the capital investment per person that other wards receive. The page names no source for either figure, and voche.me did not check them.
Summarized from the campaign’s published profile. These are stated positions, not an assessment of results or a complete platform.
01
Accountability, safety, affordability, transport, growth and small business, as listed by his campaign
His website lists six priorities. They include answering residents’ calls and emails and holding community consultations, visible community-friendly policing, a review of City spending, safe connected cycling routes and more service on crowded bus routes, housing growth that respects existing communities, and help for small businesses and local business areas.

These are the campaign’s own statements. The page also lists proposals for each Davenport neighbourhood, which it describes as starting points for resident consultation.
Evidence reviewed on October 4, 2026: the City of Toronto’s list of certified candidates, the home page of his campaign website (which carries the About, Priorities and Neighbourhoods sections) and The Local’s Ward 9 candidate tracker. The sitting Ward 9 councillor is Alejandra Bravo, listed on the City’s Members of Council page, and she is on the list of certified candidates. The 2022 declaration of results for all wards holds no entry under the name Marco Martins.
Gaps. His occupation comes from The Local alone. voche.me found no news report in which he speaks, and no public role on record. His social media account could not be read. The questionnaire has not been sent. Empty sections record that nothing more was verified.
