Kaohsiung Mayoral Candidate Launches 'Southern Rise' Campaign Bus Tour

Lai Rui-long, a candidate for Kaohsiung mayor and a legislator from the Democratic Progressive Party, has launched a new campaign initiative featuring a "Southern Rise, Marching Towards International" themed bus. This visually striking bus will travel throughout the city, serving as a mobile platform to showcase Lai's municipal vision and connect with voters.

Buses are the most familiar mode of transportation for citizens' daily commutes, accompanying everyone on their journeys and ensuring safe returns. They also symbolize the city's continuous operation and forward momentum.

The campaign bus is designed to symbolize the city's continuous operation and forward momentum, much like the daily commutes of its citizens. Lai stated that the moving advertisements carry not just campaign information but also a promise for the future. He outlined his four key goals: boosting industry, retaining talent, strengthening transportation, and improving quality of life, aiming to build upon the existing achievements of Mayor Chen Chi-mai.

With a decade of experience in city government and another decade as a legislator, Lai highlighted his deep involvement in Kaohsiung's development and his commitment to being an accessible and reliable partner for the residents. He stressed his intention to leverage his creativity and execution skills, along with his professional track record and steady approach, to usher in a new era for Kaohsiung.

The moving advertisements carry not just campaign information, but also a promise for the future. I will focus on four key goals: boosting industry, retaining talent, strengthening transportation, and improving quality of life, building upon the solid foundation laid by Mayor Chen Chi-mai.

The launch of the bus campaign signifies the full mobilization of the "Kaohsiung team," which includes city council members and candidates. Lai expressed gratitude for the spontaneous support from citizens who have provided campaign signage and advertising space, viewing it as a strong endorsement of his platform. As the election approaches its critical phase, Lai pledged to work collaboratively with like-minded council candidates, engaging with all 38 administrative districts to listen to local voices and unite efforts to secure the mayoral seat and a majority in the city council, ultimately striving to build a more progressive and happier Kaohsiung.
