Philosophy/Vision

This is my commitment to you. I value and I respect the trust which you, the people of Langley Township, have placed with me. I will show you this respect on a daily basis:

• By debating the issues, not the personalities;
• By being as accessible as possible to anyone in this community who wants to talk to a local government representative;
• By understanding that there is more than one point of view in this community and by listening to all those points of view before making a decision;
• By striving to make balanced decisions that work for all, not for the sole benefit of any one particular interest group;
• And finally by remembering, in any decision I am asked to help make on behalf of this community that Langley is home to all of us.

This is my pledge to you as together we face the challenges, the opportunities and the decisions of the next Council term.

Langley is at a critical turning point.

It has nurtured many generations/families but we are growing so quickly now without full consideration of the importance of “Quality of Life” over “Quantity of Development”. This includes recognition of the immediate importance of Climate Change and the need for Climate Mitigation and Climate Resiliency.

Thank You,

Kim Richter
