A Letter to Constituents

Dear Neighbours

Dear Neighbours: I am truly honoured and grateful to have been re-elected as your Ward 4 City Councillor in the 2026 City of Richmond Hill Municipal Election. With your support, I received 2,949 votes, representing 33.44% of all votes cast in Ward 4. More importantly, this result reflects the trust and confidence you have placed in me, and for that I am sincerely thankful.

Over the course of this campaign, I had the privilege of meeting many residents, listening to your concerns, and hearing your ideas for our community. Those conversations reminded me why I love serving Ward 4 and why I remain committed to working hard on your behalf.

Thank you to every supporter, volunteer, friend, neighbour, and community partner who contributed in ways both large and small. Your encouragement, dedication, and belief in me made this possible. A special thank you to my family for their unwavering love, patience, and support throughout this journey. I could not have done it without you.

While the election is over, our work continues. I remain committed to listening, working collaboratively, and advocating for the services and improvements that help make Ward 4 and Richmond Hill an even better place to live, work, and raise a family. This victory belongs to all of us.

Thank you for your trust and friendship. It is a privilege to serve you, and I look forward to continuing our work together over the next four years.

Thank you,

SIMON CUI
