KASH Heed, former solicitor general, was elected as a Councillor in the City of Richmond on Saturday.

The other seven candidates who got elected to Council were Chak Au, Carol Day, Bill McNulty, Alexa Loo, Michael Wolfe, Andy Hobbs and Laura Gillanders.

Meanwhile, incumbent mayor Malcolm Brodie easily won re-election.

Ken Hamaguchi, Donna Sargent, Alice Wong, Heather Larson, Debbie Tablotney, David Yang and Rod Belleza were elected school trustees.

In August, Heed and former Richmond councillor Derek Dang formed Richmond Rise to run for City Council. Dang, however, did not win a seat.

Since his first patrol with the Vancouver Police Department (VPD) in 1979, Heed has served the citizens of British Columbia for over 43 years. After high-profile gang and drug enforcement commands with the VPD, he was West Vancouver’s Chief Constable for two years before being elected to the BC Legislature in 2009 as the MLA for Vancouver-Fraserview. Immediately after, Heed was appointed to serve as BC’s Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General.
Building on their extensive experience and in response to feedback received from Richmond
residents, businesses, and community leaders, Heed and Dang identified four policy priorities to guide Richmond Rise over the next four years: Public Safety; Housing; Senior’s Living; and Good Government.
