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”. Miao went on to win over the Conservative incumbent Alice Wong by less than 700 votes. 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”. He currently sits on two parliamentary standing committees: Veteran Affairs and International Trade. In January 2023, Miao opened his constituency office in Richmond Centre after 16 months without an office, and faced significant criticism for his lack of availability to his constituents during this period. His office also accrued the largest renovation bill of any Member of Parliament. Electoral history
