Political career

After being acclaimed as the Richmond Centre Liberal Candidate, Miao declared his priorities to be advocacy for seniors, newcomers and youth. He reaffirmed that a more affordable and comfortable retirement for seniors is a critical issue for Canadians. During the 2021 campaign he said “I’m hoping I have the chance to listen to more people and bring back that voice to Ottawa”.[2]

In his maiden speech in the House of Commons, Miao emphasized the importance of the House acting as a united front to “create real change and meaningful process”.[5] He currently sits on two parliamentary standing committees: Veteran Affairs and International Trade.[6]
