Ken Hamaguchi
Autism/behaviour consultant
Political affiliations (past and present): Richmond Education Party & Richmond Community and Education Party
What neighbourhood do you live in?
Westwind
What inspired you to run?
I am running for office because I believe city hall is a “house divided.” Decisions are often based on party affiliation, and not necessarily merit. If elected I will listen to the “extreme right/left and everyone in the middle” to come up with a decision that is in the best interests of all of Richmond.
What are your top priorities?
Dealing with Covid remains our top priority. The role of City Hall will be critical as we recover and eventually, learn to adjust to “life after Covid.” Other priorities include affordable housing, community safety (fire/police services), and traffic and transportation.
All byelection candidate profiles will be published online over the next few days.
