(Central News Agency reporter Wu Rui-chi, Taoyuan 14th) The Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) Election Strategy Committee today recommended nominating Huang Shih-chieh, Political Deputy Minister of Justice, to run for Taoyuan Mayor. Local political figures stated that Huang Shih-chieh is a native of Taoyuan, is well-versed in Taoyuan's development, and possesses the advantages of youth and experience as a former Taoyuan City Councilor, calling it "a very good decision."
The DPP Election Strategy Committee today recommended nominating Huang Shih-chieh, Political Deputy Minister of Justice, to run for Taoyuan Mayor, and former legislator Chuang Ching-cheng to run for Hsinchu Mayor, to be submitted to tomorrow's DPP Central Executive Committee meeting. After the DPP Central Executive Committee approves, a nomination press conference will be held.
Huang Fu-shu-hsiang, chairperson of the DPP Taoyuan City Party Headquarters, told the Central News Agency reporter that it is good that someone is willing to take on the responsibility. She believes that the mayoral and city councilor elections are complementary. There is still some time until election day, and once the campaign begins, the public will become familiar with the candidates. Huang Shih-chieh's nomination and immediate campaigning will surely deepen everyone's impression and allow him to compete with Taoyuan Mayor Chang San-cheng.
Hsu Chia-jui, convener of the DPP caucus office in the Taoyuan City Council, said that Huang Shih-chieh is a top choice within the DPP for both his policy capabilities and election experience. Huang Shih-chieh's humble image and solid local engagement align with Taoyuan voters' preference for highly educated, low-hatred candidates. Chang San-cheng has focused on welfare policies in recent years and has a conservative style. The public generally believes that Taoyuan's development has stagnated, and the city government lacks innovation and competitiveness. The caucus will work with the mayoral candidate to propose more forward-looking policies and urban development visions in the council, highlighting progressive values.
City Councilor Huang Chiung-hui said, "This is a very good decision." Huang Shih-chieh is a native of Taoyuan and has served as a legislator for Taoyuan. He is well-versed in Taoyuan's development and has not stopped caring about Taoyuan even while serving in the central government. In addition to his strong local connections, he is also a "policy controller" who can present concrete policy proposals to attract the attention of rational Taoyuan voters, making him more impactful than Chang San-cheng, who only spends money on social welfare policies.
City Councilor Wei Yun pointed out that Huang Shih-chieh possesses legal expertise and solid parliamentary experience, and having been born and raised locally, he understands local needs. At 47 years old, compared to 71-year-old Chang San-cheng, he is nearly 25 years younger, with more energy and drive to engage with the grassroots. He not only understands the context of Taoyuan's municipal administration but is also a mid-generation immediate combatant who can bring a more forward-looking and vibrant new atmosphere to Taoyuan's governance.
City Councilor Wang Pei-yu said that Huang Shih-chieh combines professionalism, warmth, and action. He cares about Taoyuan, is familiar with local needs, and has experience at both central and local levels. Whether serving as a councilor in the Taoyuan City Government or in the Legislative Yuan and the Ministry of Justice, he has accumulated comprehensive public affairs experience. Huang Shih-chieh, who understands Taoyuan, is familiar with governance, and is warm, is definitely the strongest candidate for Taoyuan Mayor. (Editor: Li Heng-shan) 1150414
