[Back to RITE Richmond ](https://voche.me/bc/richmond-2026/parties/rite-richmond) [**3**Candidates](https://voche.me/bc/richmond-2026/parties/rite-richmond/candidates) [**3/4**Issues with published policy](https://voche.me/bc/richmond-2026/parties/rite-richmond/platform) [**33**Sources on file](https://voche.me/bc/richmond-2026/parties/rite-richmond/money) **9**Questions answered THE SHAPE OF THIS SLATE ## What RITE Richmond is asking for RITE Richmond is contesting one race. All 3 of its candidates are standing for Councillor, where 8 seats are being filled on October 17. RITE Richmond is not running a candidate for mayor, so it is contesting Councillor only. 3 OF 8 SEATS CONTESTED ## Councillor [**Carol Day**Councillor, City of Richmond](https://voche.me/bc/richmond-2026/candidates/carol-day) [**Laura Gillanders**Councillor, City of Richmond](https://voche.me/bc/richmond-2026/candidates/laura-gillanders) [**Michael Wolfe**Councillor, City of Richmond](https://voche.me/bc/richmond-2026/candidates/michael-wolfe) ### RITE Richmond is not running for Mayor, School Trustee No RITE Richmond candidate appears on the official City of Richmond candidate list for these races. A blank here records that, and nothing more. ### How a candidate is linked to a party Only the official City of Richmond candidate list decides which party a candidate belongs to on this site. A party's own list of candidates is not enough on its own, and a candidate running with no party is never attached to one. ## 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.
