(Central News Agency reporters Lin Jing-yin, Yeh Su-ping, Taipei, 29th) Former legislator Gao Jia-yu, who is running for Taipei City Councilor again, today appeared on stage with Democratic Progressive Party's popular Taipei mayoral candidate, Legislator Shen Bo-yang. Gao Jia-yu said that she is very much looking forward to putting up joint billboards with Shen Bo-yang in this election.
Legislator Wu Pei-yi, who registered to run for the chairperson of the DPP Taipei City Party Headquarters, along with current Taipei City Party Headquarters chairperson Chang Mao-nan, Shen Bo-yang, Gao Jia-yu, and seven newly nominated Taipei City Councilor candidates, held a 'Taipei Snack Exchange Meeting' at the Taipei City Party Headquarters this afternoon.
Previously, some KMT members questioned whether she dared to put up joint billboards with Shen Bo-yang. Gao Jia-yu said, 'Thank you to the KMT legislators and councilors for endorsing and recommending Shen Bo-yang for the DPP. For the KMT, they should be trembling now.'
Gao Jia-yu pointed out that she is very much looking forward to putting up joint billboards with Shen Bo-yang. Since running for city councilor in 2010, she has only put up her own billboards in three elections because elections mainly rely on one's own efforts. But this time, she is very much looking forward to immediately putting up a billboard with a photo of her and Shen Bo-yang.
Gao Jia-yu stated that Shen Bo-yang has an excellent academic and professional background. He is not only young but also understands Hatsune Miku, Demon Slayer, and Frieren: Beyond Journey's End. She contrasted this with Taipei Mayor Chiang Wan-an's speeches, which she said make people feel soulless, as if he has been implanted with software and is just reciting from a script.
Gao Jia-yu pointed out that Shen Bo-yang is a living, breathing, soulful person, representing Taipei City and Taiwan with a new generation, young voice, prioritizing Taiwan first and Taiwanese values. This is the Taipei mayor that Taipei citizens want. He comes from an ordinary background, not from privilege, and was not born to be a legislator or mayor, let alone run for president.
In addition, regarding Shen Bo-yang's wish to arrange a visit, DPP Legislator Wang Shih-chien said in an interview outside the DPP Central Standing Committee meeting this afternoon that the meeting time has not yet been set. He added that Shen Bo-yang has made a good start, 'starting from scratch,' reshaping the posture of a capital mayoral candidate. Facing Chiang Wan-an, Shen Bo-yang will be the strongest challenger, and everyone should wait and see. (Editor: Wan Shu-chang) 1150429
