Brad Bradford officially became a mayoral candidate this morning and in quick succession Press Progress put out a statement that they have filed a complaint with Toronto's Integrity Commissioner against Bradford.
Their complaint is summed up below;
On April 2, 2026, a full month before candidates could even register to run for Mayor of Toronto, Councillor Brad Bradford was the featured participant at a cash-for-access event in Concord, Ontario billed as “An Evening With Brad Bradford.” Individuals were allowed to meet with Councillor Bradford for fees ranging from $250 to $3,000. The event was orchestrated by lobbyist Nick Ainis and held in Concord, Ontario, far from Councillor Bradford’s constituents in Beaches—East York and even Toronto residents. This event calls into question the essential tenets of our democracy and demands nothing less than a full investigation to protect public confidence in local government.
In their submission to the Integrity Commissioner, they raise the question, among others, "Will the funds raised be laundered for use for campaign purposes either by Councillor Bradford directly or third parties sharing his agenda?"

Can imagine the next 5 months are going to be eventful
