Central News Agency (Taipei, May 4th) – Premier Cho Jung-tai yesterday revealed at a public event that DPP Legislator Lin Yue-chin would be nominated to run for Miaoli Mayor. Lin Yue-chin stated today that Miaoli has seen little change and should change. Miaoli is a challenging constituency, and the more challenging it is, the more someone is needed to shoulder the responsibility. If her professional expertise is needed by the fellow citizens, she is "duty-bound."
When attending the "115th Dentist's Day Celebration Event" yesterday, Premier Cho Jung-tai mentioned KMT's Nantou County Magistrate candidate Wen Shih-cheng, who adeptly used his expertise to solve local environmental sanitation problems. He further mentioned that Lin Yue-chin would start from Miaoli City and has been nominated as a candidate for Miaoli Mayor.
Lin Yue-chin attended the Legislative Yuan's Social Welfare and Environmental Hygiene Committee this morning and stated in an interview before the meeting that she appreciated Premier Cho's affirmation. Miaoli is indeed a challenging constituency, not easy to win. She and DPP County Magistrate candidate Chen Pin-an are both willing to take on the responsibility; the more challenging it is, the more someone needs to step in. As a daughter of Miaoli, if her professional expertise is needed by her fellow citizens, she is "duty-bound."
Lin Yue-chin said that there are more seniors in Miaoli City, and her social welfare expertise, such as long-term care, can help Miaoli City's development, especially as Miaoli should change.
If Lin Yue-chin completes the nomination process, it means that both the DPP's candidates for Miaoli County and Miaoli City are women. Lin Yue-chin stated that when Chen Pin-an was nominated, she hoped Chen Pin-an could take good care of her hometown. If she can return to Miaoli to strive for the hometown where she grew up, she certainly hopes they can work together to make Miaoli County and City better.
It is rumored that President Lai Ching-te had consulted with her before the Lunar New Year. Lin Yue-chin confirmed that President Lai had indeed sought her opinion before the Lunar New Year. She said that Miaoli has seen little change. If she can truly return, especially to Miaoli City where she grew up, she is very much looking forward to bringing about change and hoping to see a new atmosphere.
