(Central News Agency reporter Yeh Su-ping, Taipei, 15th) The Democratic Progressive Party today nominated former Deputy Minister of Justice Huang Shih-chieh to run for Taoyuan mayor, challenging incumbent Mayor Chang San-cheng. Huang Shih-chieh said he is vying for an opportunity to change Taoyuan and collectively reclaim the Taoyuan people's sense of glory. He will contribute his professionalism, knowledge, and expertise without reservation to his hometown that nurtured him.
At the DPP Central Executive Committee meeting, Huang Shih-chieh was nominated to run for Taoyuan mayor, and former legislator Chuang Ching-cheng was nominated to run for Hsinchu mayor. After the Central Executive Committee meeting, the DPP held a nomination press conference, where President Lai Ching-te, who also serves as DPP chairman, tied campaign sashes on Huang Shih-chieh and Chuang Ching-cheng.
Lai Ching-te pointed out that Huang Shih-chieh, as a Hakka descendant from Taoyuan, with his profound legal background, once assisted the Taoyuan City Government in clarifying over 1,500 self-governing regulations. His professional performance in the legislature is well-recognized, and he has spared no effort in promoting local construction.
Lai Ching-te said that Taoyuan City is the nation's gateway, and the future development of Taoyuan City is crucial to Taiwan's development. At this critical moment, the DPP recommends Huang Shih-chieh, who is young, energetic, professional, capable, and has a complete blueprint for Taoyuan's future development, to run for mayor. He urged Taoyuan citizens to strongly support him to promote great progress in Taoyuan.
Huang Shih-chieh stated that he was born in Ben-gang, Xinwu, Taoyuan, and grew up with the sea breeze of Xinwu. Even though he later studied in Taipei, went to graduate school in New York, and then stepped onto a broader world, his heart has never left Taoyuan. His life trajectory has always been closely connected with this city that is Taoyuan.
He believes that Taoyuan is not only Taiwan's gateway but also has a solid industrial foundation and is at the hub of global aerospace and logistics. In the future, it is necessary to strengthen Taoyuan's advantages, integrate Taoyuan into the global technology industry landscape more quickly, attract high-tech industries to set up their highest-value departments in Taoyuan. At the same time, he will assist traditional industries in digital upgrading to create more stable high-paying job opportunities, allowing young people in Taoyuan to pursue their dreams and live and work in peace.
Huang Shih-chieh said that to achieve this goal, the quality of Taoyuan's public services must be upgraded, and the administrative efficiency of the Taoyuan City Government must be reformed. Limited public sector manpower needs to maximize its effectiveness by creating reasonable workloads and reasonable responsibility assignments, so that excellent public servants can unleash their creativity and bravely take on responsibilities.
He stated that Taoyuan should not only be economically strong but also have a good quality of life. Whether it is maintaining public order, balancing educational resources, expanding medical capacity, or upgrading the quality of various public services, there must be clear indicators and methods for improvement. After all, Taoyuan is constantly growing and developing, and citizens do not have time to keep waiting.
Huang Shih-chieh said that he is a native of Taoyuan, growing up with this city, experiencing Taoyuan's take-off and stagnation, and he empathizes with the joys and sorrows of the citizens. The meaning of the position of Taoyuan mayor, for some people, may just be one stop in their public career, but Taoyuan is his home. For him, Taoyuan's future is not just a job. He is vying for an opportunity to change Taoyuan and collectively reclaim the Taoyuan people's sense of glory. (Editors: Lin Ke-lun, Wan Shu-chang) 1150415
