RICHMOND – Controversial former BC Liberal and former West Vancouver police chief Kash Heed was elected councilor in Richmond on October 15.
The former solicitor general and former Vancouver-Fraserview MLA received 10,563 votes and just beat his Richmond Rise running mate Derek Dang by about 257 votes, taking the last spot on council.
Heed will join another newbie, RITE Richmond candidate Laura Gillanders, on city council along with all six re-elected incumbent councillors and Malcolm Brodie who will serve as mayor for his eighth term.
Heed told Richmond News it was a “bittersweet” victory given Dang didn’t win.
But, he said, he thinks things will change this term, adding the divisiveness on council has been holding Richmond back.
“I think we’ve reached a council now where I don’t think business is going to be the same any more – it’s going to be a lot different,” Heed said.
