Holyday, first elected councillor in 2014, is the son of former city councillor and former Etobicoke mayor Doug Holyday.
City Councillor Stephen Holyday has joined what is shaping up to be a crowded field of people considering a run for mayor to replace John Tory.
He cited, as reasons spurring him to consider registering his candidacy for the June 26 byelection, colleagues questioning a reduction in cleaning services for city buildings less full due to people working from home and increased enforcement against fare evasion on the TTC. Holyday said that if he runs, his platform would include: prioritizing good repair and maintenance of roads, parks and facilities “before we move on to building new things”; holding accountable firms contracting to provide city services including snow clearing; stopping the “squandering of scare resources and public confidence on frills” such as the planned renaming of Dundas Street; and “law and order in our city starts by funding the police, bylaw and transit enforcement.
He joins a field of potential mayoral candidates that includes council colleagues Brad Bradford and Josh Matlow , former councillor Ana Bailão, former police chief Mark Saunders, Liberal MPP Mitzie Hunter, NDP MPP Bhutila Karpoche, urbanist Gil Penalosa and policy analyst Chloe Brown.
