James To Kun-sun was born in Hong Kong on 11 March 1963 and graduated in law from the University of Hong Kong; he is a practising solicitor who built a long-standing district network in Kowloon West. Active in the 1989 protests in support of the Beijing student movement, he was in 1990 a founding member of the United Democrats of Hong Kong, the city's first political party, which merged with Meeting Point in 1994 to form the Democratic Party. In March 1991 he was elected to the Sham Shui Po District Council, and in September that year, aged 28, he won the Kowloon West seat in the Legislative Council, becoming the youngest legislator in Hong Kong's history, a record that stood until 2016. He was re-elected for Kowloon West in 1995; in 1997, when Beijing set up a Provisional Legislative Council, he and other pro-democracy legislators were excluded, and in 1998 he was returned for Kowloon West in the first SAR Legislative Council. Re-elected in 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012 and 2016, he represented the District Council (Second) constituency from 2012 and also sat on the Yau Tsim Mong District Council. He long chaired the Panel on Security as the Democratic Party's security spokesman, regularly addressing police powers, complaint mechanisms and oversight, and was convenor of the pro-democracy caucus in 2016-2017. In November 2020 he left the legislature with other pro-democracy lawmakers after the government disqualified four of them, ending nearly three decades in the council, and he has continued to speak publicly on legal matters since.
