All three Richmond First incumbent city councillors will be standing in Novembers municipal election.
Derek Dang, Ken Johnston, and Bill McNulty will be running on a plan to return common sense to Richmond City Council.
There are serious issues facing Richmond today and Im pleased our team is standing for re-election to deal with these challenges using the common sense approach we bring to the table, said veteran councillor McNulty.
With Richmond at a crossroads, the strength and experience of our team to stand up and tackle the big issues are now more important than ever.
Dang, whos served on council since 1996, said hes been standing up for important social programs within the city,
At the top of my agenda is ensuring we maintain a strong public safety record and that our first responders are strongly supported to keep our community protected, added Dang.
Johnston, meanwhile, will highlight the fact that he spearheaded a bylaw allowing Richmond to strike a blow against puppy mills by becoming the first municipality in Canada to ban puppy sales in pet stores.
I want to continue taking on special interests and standing up to defend common sense on behalf of citizens, said Johnston.
I believe our greatest challenge now is to keep taxes among the lowest of Lower Mainland municipalities so we can retain and create jobs in Richmond and Im going to do just that by being the financial conscience on council.
The next Richmond City Council election is set for Nov. 19.
