Anton Udalov

City Councillor Candidate, Richmond BC

I am an entrepreneur, finance professional, and first-generation immigrant who believes strong communities are built through common sense, personal responsibility, and opportunity. I came to Canada at 21 as an international student with one suitcase and have worked in transportation, automotive sales, and finance, gaining firsthand experience with the challenges and aspirations of working families, newcomers, and local businesses.

Originally raised in Siberia in a family that valued education, critical thinking, and lively discussion, I developed an early interest in history, languages, and literature before pursuing university studies in economics. My experiences across different industries and regions of North America have strengthened my appreciation for hard work, entrepreneurship, and the importance of practical solutions.

I am seeking the opportunity to serve as a Richmond City Councillor because I believe our city should remain safe, fiscally responsible, and welcoming to families, businesses, and future generations. I want to help ensure that Richmond continues to grow while preserving the quality of life that makes it one of Canada’s best places to live.

My mission

•⁠  ⁠strengthen public safety and protect residents and businesses from crime
•⁠  ⁠support responsible financial management and transparent local government
•⁠  ⁠encourage economic growth while preserving Richmond’s strong sense of community and quality of life

Fluent in: English, Russian, French (spoken)

我是一名企业家、金融专业人士，也是第一代移民。我坚信，强大的社区源于常识、个人责任和机遇。21岁时，我作为一名国际学生，带着一个行李箱来到加拿大。我曾在运输、汽车销售和金融行业工作，亲身经历了工薪家庭、新移民和本地企业所面临的挑战和愿景。

我出生于西伯利亚，在一个重视教育、批判性思维和积极讨论的家庭中长大。在攻读经济学之前，我从小就对历史、语言和文学产生了浓厚的兴趣。我在北美不同行业和地区的历练，让我更加深刻地体会到努力工作、创业精神以及务实解决方案的重要性。

我竞选列治文市议员，是因为我相信我们的城市应该保持安全、财政稳健，并对家庭、企业和子孙后代充满热情。我希望能够帮助列治文在持续发展的同时，保持其作为加拿大最宜居城市之一的高品质生活。

我的使命

• 加强公共安全，保护居民和企业免受犯罪侵害

• 支持负责任的财务管理和透明的地方政府

• 在促进经济增长的同时，维护里士满浓厚的社区氛围和高品质的生活

精通：英语、俄语、法语（口语）
