Former DPP member to run for Taoyuan council seat as independent

Huang Ying-chi has officially exited the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) and declared her intention to run for Taoyuan City Councilor in the Yangmei District as an independent. Huang was not nominated following the party's primary elections earlier this year, a decision she has contested.

“

There are unspeakable difficulties.

Huang stated that the primary process left her with "unspeakable bitterness." She pointed to discrepancies between her own vote counts and the final results, as well as a high percentage of undecided voters. Her subsequent request for a review yielded only a CD with the primary results, which she found unhelpful in clarifying the process. She officially completed her withdrawal from the DPP on June 29.

Despite the setback, Huang affirmed her commitment to serving her hometown. She will now compete in a crowded field of seven candidates vying for four seats in the Yangmei District. Her independent candidacy is marked by campaign signs proclaiming "Speaking for the locality, regardless of party affiliation."

“

The rate of undecided voters was too high.

Huang has also introduced a policy proposal inspired by similar initiatives in other cities: the "Little Yellow Bus" service. This concept aims to provide a shared taxi service for residents in remote areas, allowing them to book rides in advance. The service would also integrate with existing policies like the "Elderly and Love Card" to make transportation more accessible, especially for seniors.

My desire to serve my hometown has never changed.
