Writer & Film Director

Jessica Bell is an extraordinary MPP who fights for our community. She saves tenants from eviction, pushes for better schools, and leads bold action on climate change. We need to keep her at Queen’s Park so she can continue fighting for us, our healthcare system, and our neighbours who need a safe and affordable place to call home.

Mike Layton

Former City Councillor, University-Rosedale

Jessica has been a tireless champion for our community and we need her voice on housing, transit and the environment at Queen’s Park.

Serena Purdy

Community Organizer

I’ve seen firsthand how Jessica Bell leads with both compassion and strategy. From organizing town halls to championing our voices at Queen’s Park, she consistently fights for our needs. We need her—her leadership, extraordinary humanity, and advocacy—to tackle the challenges ahead.

Family Council, Mon Sheong Home for the Aged // 孟嘗安老院家屬委員會

Jessica serves her constituents very well. During the pandemic, Mon Sheong Home for the Aged faced devastating challenges. While we grieved and worried for our loved ones, Jessica stood by us, advocating for their care and ensuring our concerns were heard. Since then, she has continued to support our community and address key issues, like the shortage of Chinese-speaking doctors.

貝詩雅誠懇地服務她的選民。在疫情期間，孟嘗安老院遭遇了前所未有的困難。在我們為至親感到擔憂與哀傷時，貝詩雅始終與我們同在，為改善照護條件而發聲，確保我們的訴求被聆聽。此後，她繼續支持我們的社區，關注中文醫生短缺的情況。

Martha Friendly

Childcare Activist

Since I supported Jessica in that last provincial election, I’ve been reminded again and again that she was absolutely the right choice.

Jessica has consistently done an impressive and wise job advocating with us for better childcare, affordable housing, better transit, and more. Based on her track record, she very much deserves to take her seat again, and we need to have her there to represent us.

Rosario Marchese

Former MPP for Trinity-Spadina

Jessica Bell's integrity and dedication is what so many people like about her. She has been relentless in saying that the Conservative government is wrong in increasing class size, wrong in selling off the Greenbelt, and is completely absent in building desperately needed affordable housing.

The residents of University-Rosedale have been well served by Jessica Bell. I support her re-election with a great deal of excitement.

Deborah Williams

TDSB Trustee Ward 10, University-Rosedale & Toronto Centre

When the Ford government proposed increasing class sizes and cutting a billion dollars from our schools, Jessica took a stand, demanding the government end the cuts and invest in high-quality public education. She has tirelessly fought for our schools so kids can get the education they deserve and the prosperous future our province needs.

Judy Rebick

Writer, journalist and activist

Jessica’s leadership reflects the values we need to build a fairer Ontario. She doesn’t just talk about affordable housing, she shows up for it. From helping me and my neighbours stand up to an unfair rent increase to introducing legislation to make rent more affordable for everyone, Jessica is a force for change. She has my full support.

Anne Keary

Climate organizer, Toronto

Jessica is a climate champion. She understands the urgency of the climate crisis and the need to transition to clean renewable energy. Over her two terms she has also introduced bills to make public transit greener and more affordable, and bills to protect our waterways, farmland, and Greenbelt. With Jessica's climate leadership, we can build a greener, more equitable future for all Ontarians.

William Woolrich

Patient, Taddle Creek Family Health Team

When Jessica learned that my doctor’s office was losing a family doctor, she took action. She organized a press conference at Queen’s Park and invited me to share my story about how losing my family doctor would affect my complex health needs. Together, we urged the government to address the doctor shortage hurting so many Ontarians. Jessica is someone who will fight for you.

Esther Uhm & Hayssam Hulays

Teachers, OSSTF Toronto

Jessica is the MPP students, teachers, education workers and parents deserve. From attending rallies to organizing town halls, she has demonstrated time and time again that she stands up for our kids, that she cares about smaller class sizes and schools that are well-maintained and properly staffed.

Diana Chan McNally

Community worker and advocate

I have worked with homeless people in Toronto since 2014. In that time, I have watched the housing crisis go from bad to disastrous — especially under Doug Ford. Enough is enough. Jessica is the most dedicated MPP at Queen’s Park fighting for everyone in Ontario to have a safe, decent place to live. We need to keep her there.

Justin Cowen

Renter in University-Rosedale

Jessica knows what it means to be a renter in Toronto's housing crisis. When my new landlord began pushing me and my neighbours out of our apartments, Jessica took action. She helped us organize together, spoke at protests outside our building, and even held press conferences so we could tell our stories. As Doug Ford continues to put landlord profits before our housing rights, Jessica is the ally renters like me need.

Patricia Au

Parent, Kensington Community School

As a parent in the Kensington neighbourhood, I’ve seen first hand Jessica's commitment to supporting our local school and keeping our community safe. She stood with us when education cuts forced Kensington Community School to create a grades 4-5-6 split class, and she continues to show up for my neighbours who rely on our local drop-in centre for access to health care. Jessica embodies the values we strive to teach our children—compassion and humanity toward those in need.

Henry Pang

Primary care physician

Jessica Bell is dedicated to breaking down barriers for internationally trained doctors like me. Her commitment gives me hope that I can use my skills to serve the Chinese community and contribute to Ontario’s healthcare system.

貝詩雅致力為像我這樣的海外培訓醫生消除本地執業的障礙。她的承諾給了我希望，使我相信可能用我的專業服務華人社區，並為安省的醫療體系盡一份力。-彭亨利醫生

Emily Lum

Chinese Health Care Advocate

Our community deserves language barrier-free healthcare, and Jessica Bell has shown she’s willing to take on tough challenges to deliver it. From securing wage increases for healthcare workers to fighting for setting up a family health team in Chinatown-Kensington, she’s proven she’s on our side.

我們的社區應該擁有沒有語言障礙的醫療服務，而貝詩雅已經展現了她願意迎接這艱難挑戰來實現這一目標。從為醫療工作者爭取加薪，到奮力爭取在唐人街—肯辛頓設立家庭健康團隊（醫療診所），她已經證明了她始終與華裔社區站在同一陣線。-林趙艳卿, 華人醫療倡議者
