Bonnie Crombie is the incumbent, and won re-election. She won the 2018 election with 76.68% of the vote.
In an opinion piece for Mississauga News , retired editor John Stewart suggests that she faces "no significant opposition," and is likely to receive a third term. [193]
Crombie's role in the alleged harassment of Karen Ras, leading to her resignation, has been criticized in the media. The Toronto Star published an opinion piece noting that she and city officials must be "held accountable for failing to support Karen Ras. Crombie, who never shies from journalists, TV cameras or scrums, is suddenly unavailable for media interviews. She seems to be taking a page from Premier Doug Ford’s playbook... This fiasco could signal the end of Crombie’s mayoral reign. Crombie cruised to victory in 2014 after being endorsed by former mayor Hazel McCallion, and has had an easy run — until now." [194]
The only other competitor to place in the double digits was Kevin J. Johnston, who in the months prior to his candidacy been charged by Peel Regional Police for "willfully promoting hatred." [195] (Johnston has since been sentenced to jail in two provinces, and ran for Mayor of Calgary in 2021.) [196] [197]
Crombie launched her campaign on September 7. [198] In 2014, Trivedi was candidate for Mississauga City Council Ward 5. [199]

The first registered candidate was Joe Horneck. Incumbent Ron Starr is seeking re-election to a fifth term, amid an unsettled investigation.
Incumbent Ron Starr is in his fourth term on Mississauga council. During the 2018 election, Starr registered to run for Region of Peel Chair — at that point intended to be a directly elected position — leaving his original ward vacant. Faced with a crowded slate of nominees, Starr withdrew that nomination and returned to his original ward. [240] He won by the slimmest margin in the election, with a Mississauga News columnist noting Joe Horneck's loss "more politically impressive" than some of the wins, having "almost unseated an entrenched council vet in a stable ward." [241] Starr had suggested that the 2018–2022 term might be his last. [242] Starr filed for re-election on June 27. [243]
Between 2019 and 2021, incumbent councillor Ron Starr is alleged to have keyed the car of councillor Karen Ras eight times. Starr has denied that he is the person pictured in the footage. Ras filed a complaint into the matter, but police did not lay charges, "in consultation with the complainant and the Crown's office." Ras asked the City integrity commissioner Robert Swayze to investigate it as a violation of the council's code of conduct, however the code prevents investigation of possibly criminal acts. According to Ras, Mayor Crombie declined to address the issue. As a result, Ras resigned in January 2022, taking a job elsewhere. After Ras later revealed details of the issue to the media, Mississauga City Council held an "hour-long" closed meeting, resulting in a motion to ask the integrity commissioner to investigate, and asking Starr to take a leave of absence.
