[Back to Advance Richmond ](https://voche.me/bc/richmond-2026/parties/advance-richmond) [**6**Candidates](https://voche.me/bc/richmond-2026/parties/advance-richmond/candidates) [**4/4**Issues with published policy](https://voche.me/bc/richmond-2026/parties/advance-richmond/platform) [**31**Sources on file](https://voche.me/bc/richmond-2026/parties/advance-richmond/money) **10**Questions answered RECORD IN OFFICE ## Record in office ### Advance Richmond has published nothing on decisions, votes and funded work We looked on October 30, 2026 and found no published position. That is a finding about what is on the public record on that date. It does not tell you what the party would do in office. **Where we looked:** - Elections BC's Register of Elector Organizations by Jurisdiction, dated October 30, 2026 - The City of Richmond's declarations of September 21 and October 21, 2026 - Richmond News reports of February 5, 2024 and September and October 2026 - Advance Richmond's About and Latest News pages **What is missing:** - The organization first ran candidates in 2026, so it has no record in office under its name. The new council and board take office in November 2026. - Rod Belleza sat on the Board of Education before the vote. The Richmond Sentinel reported in 2022 that he was elected then with the Richmond Community Coalition. His votes in that term are on his own page. - Richmond News reported in 2024 that Sheldon Starrett ran for council in 2022 on Chak Au's slate and was not elected. ## Sources A source marked SAYS SO ITSELF is the party's own material. It proves what the party claims, not that the claim is true. 1.
