Support the Campaign

This campaign is funded by residents, not corporations, not unions, not special interests. That's the law in B.C., and it's also the point. I'm a first-time candidate starting from zero: no leftover campaign fund, no institutional backers, just what residents choose to put in. Every donation directly funds the ability to compete, reaching voters who don't already know my name yet. If you'd rather give your time than money, or want to do both, the volunteer page matters just as much.

One rule of my own

Elections BC sets most of the rules on this page. This one is mine: I will not accept donations from owners, directors, or executives of property developers, or from their close family members. Decisions made at City Hall are worth millions to developers, and the people making those decisions shouldn't owe them anything. If that's you - I'd still like your vote, and you're welcome to ask me anything at a campaign event now, or at a Meet the Mayor session when I'm elected. But I won't take your money. That's money I'm turning away on principle, which means this campaign leans even harder on residents willing to chip in what they can. If you're able to give, it makes a real difference.

Who can donate

You must be a resident of B.C. and a Canadian citizen or permanent resident.
Your donation must come from your own personal funds. No one can reimburse you, and organizations (corporations, unions, charities) cannot donate.
The most you can give this campaign in 2026 is $1,429.70.
If you give $100 or more, Elections BC publishes your name and amount in its public contributions database. That's transparency, and I'm for it.
Municipal campaign donations are not eligible for a tax receipt.

Elections BC requires the campaign to record your name and residential address. Donations must come from B.C. residents.

Email (optional)

Please confirm all three: I am a resident of B.C. and a Canadian citizen or permanent resident. This donation comes from my own personal funds, using a payment card in my own name, and no one will reimburse me for it. I am not an owner, director, or executive of a property developer, nor a close family member of one. "Close family member" means a spouse or partner, parent, child, or sibling.

This information is collected and retained as required by B.C.'s Local Elections Campaign Financing Act, and used for no other purpose.

Secure payment via Stripe Checkout - you'll be redirected to complete your card payment.

Prefer Interac e-Transfer? It's a secure bank-to-bank service: you send it from your own online banking, and it deposits directly into the campaign account. Send your donation to campaign@mcgraw4mayor.ca and include your full name and residential address in the message. Elections BC requires the campaign to record both. The three confirmations above apply to e-Transfers too (with your own bank account in place of a payment card); by sending one, you're confirming them.
