As a neighbourhood of Mississauga, Lakeview shares the council elected in October 2022, with Bonnie Crombie as mayor. The council shown is the one elected in 2022, since Ontario voted again on 26 October 2026 and no open file of the new councils exists yet. Charles Sousa (Liberal Party of Canada) is the MP for Mississauga—Lakeshore, the riding (a federal electoral district, which elects one MP) that takes in Lakeview. In the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, Lakeview belongs to Mississauga—Lakeshore; who holds it as MPP (Member of Provincial Parliament, at Queen’s Park in Toronto) isn’t on an open record, so no one is named.
