Support Henry Yao for Mayor of Richmond
支持姚君憲Henry Yao競選列治文市長
WORK TOGETHER,
THRIVE TOGETHER.
A reason to run again
Henry is running to build a supportive and inclusive Richmond - a city where we solve difficult problems by bringing people together, not pushing people aside.
The debate over supportive housing convinced Henry to enter the mayoral race. Richmond deserves an approach that protects existing residents while addressing challenges facing our community with compassion, dignity, and practical solutions - without leaving people behind.
