I believe we can all make a difference. And when we work together, we can change the world.
Mission
Now is not the time to accept the status quo. We are facing unprecedented crises in housing, environment, and income inequality.
Bold action and ideas are needed to ensure we are successful in meeting the needs of our residents, both now and in the future.
My promise is to work hard, connect with industry leaders, and collaborate with you to find creative solutions that work for our community.
Vision
Richmond will thrive when we have people-centred policy. Affordable housing will mean our families and business can stay and be prosperous in Richmond. Leading climate change initiatives will be an opportunity for business innovation, but also an opportunity for our communities to become more livable.
With the unique convergence of urban, suburban, and farmland, Richmond is well positioned to lead in personal well-being and economic growth, well into the next century.
