WHO THEY ARE
About OneCity
OneCity is running 13 candidates: 5 for City Council, 3 for Park Board and 5 for School Board. Like COPE, it is not running a mayoral candidate.
Its website said "Full Platform coming soon" when we checked on September 22, 2026, so what is recorded here comes from the commitments published on its home page.
The party publishes two figures about its own funding that are unusual to disclose: 7,534 donors at an average gift of $46.31, and more than 4,800 members. These are the party’s own figures.
