Ji'an Township mayoral candidates campaign in Hualien

Candidates for the Ji'an Township mayoral election in Hualien, Taiwan, have intensified their campaigning efforts.

Huang Chin-fa, running under number 2, is campaigning on a platform of “Glory to Ji'an, Steady Continuity.” Drawing on his background in the military and his experience as the Vice Chairman of the Ji'an Township Representative Council, Huang emphasizes discipline, responsibility, and administrative execution. He aims to leverage his local service experience to enhance community culture, living environments, and public services.

Chiu Chan-chien, running under number 4, has introduced a development blueprint titled “Ji'an Has Infinite Possibilities.” His platform focuses on four key areas: upgrading local agricultural industries through brand innovation, promoting cultural integration and international exchange, implementing smart disaster prevention and social welfare (including micro-insurance and fertility support), and fostering youth entrepreneurship. Chiu, a former director of the Hualien County Government Civil Affairs Department and a former university administrator, seeks to prevent Ji'an from becoming merely a satellite town of Hualien City.
