The Liberal Party of Canada has 71 of the 122 MPs elected in Ontario. In the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, Tweed belongs to Hastings—Lennox and Addington; 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. In October 2022, Tweed elected Don Degenova as mayor, with a council of 5. 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.
