Political History
John Cummins has held this seat since 1993. He has served as a Reform, Canadian Alliance and now as a Conservative MP.
In 2008, he beat Liberal Dana Miller by 15,946 votes. His 2006 election victory came over Liberal Patricia Whittaker. Before Cummins, the riding was held by a Progressive Conservative.
In Richmond, the 2000 election saw Joe Peschilsolido of the Canadian Alliance oust two-term Liberal incumbent Raymond Chan. The margin was 1,124 votes.
In 2002, Peschilsolido crossed the floor to the Liberals.
In 2004, Chan had his revenge, beating Peschilsolido for the Liberal nomination. Chan was re-elected in Richmond in 2004. Before Chan came to office, Tory Tom Siddon held the Richmond seat, serving in several cabinet positions.
