Meet Amjad Jilani.

I chose to run because waiting for the career politicians to fix the problems they created is a losing game.

When City Council votes 10-0 behind closed doors to override our Official Plan for massive developer projects, passes a 5.21% property tax hike, and lets crime and auto theft surge across our neighborhoods, doing nothing is no longer an option. I am running to give the silent majority of Mississauga a genuine choice on the ballot, not just another choice between the lesser of two evils.

I have zero experience sitting in council chambers passing tax increases, delaying transit projects, or approving secret settlements.

If “experience” means decades of climbing the political ladder while public services decline, I am proud to say I do not have it. My experience is real-world experience: living in Mississauga, feeling the financial pressure of rising costs, navigating our gridlocked streets, and seeing how municipal decisions impact actual families. I bring practical business sense, accountability, and the drive to put residents first.

Yes, absolutely. Here is the reality of Mississauga elections:

In 2024, the mayoralty was won with roughly 43,000 votes out of nearly 140,000 cast, while over 74% of eligible voters stayed home because they felt ignored. In a fractured race where four career politicians are splitting the same establishment base, hitting 40,000 votes guarantees victory.

We do not need the endorsement of insider political networks. We need 40,000 everyday residents, youth, first-time voters, and frustrated taxpayers to stand up and vote for real change.
