Stratford’s October 26, 2026 mayoral contest remains closely contested among five certified candidates, with incumbent Martin Ritsma holding a modest edge in trader pricing ahead of councillors Jo-Dee Burbach and Mark Hunter, architect Robert Ritz, and resident Andrew Rea. Nominations closed August 21 with limited withdrawals and no dominant polling data to consolidate support. Divergent positions on Strong Mayor powers, housing intensification, the Grand Trunk site redevelopment, and budget accountability continue to divide voter priorities among experienced local contenders. Clear separation could emerge from candidate forums, endorsements by sitting councillors, or shifts in turnout among voters focused on development pace and fiscal accountability before election day.
