KMT candidate Li Sichuan courts women voters; DPP's Su Chiao-hui promotes youth policies

New Taipei mayoral candidate Li Sichuan of the Kuomintang (KMT) held a women's forum on April 4, introducing education policies to appeal to female voters, a demographic where his rival, Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) legislator Su Chiao-hui, holds an advantage.

“

Everyone presents policies and visions for citizens to choose from. This kind of positive election has always been what I advocate.

Responding to Li's initiative, Su stated that she welcomes candidates presenting visions for citizens. She highlighted the DPP's "New Taipei Team" policies, which she claims prioritize young parents and families. These include six welfare policies, three family care initiatives, and youth-focused proposals designed to attract both female and male voters.

Su announced she would host a second "Otter Mom Paradise" event in Linkou, which she noted was already fully booked with young parents and their children. She expressed her commitment to developing more policies for young families to make New Taipei "younger, upgraded, happier, and more beautiful."

The DPP's New Taipei Team's policies hope to help young parents reduce burdens and realize their dreams faster.

Regarding President Lai Ching-te's endorsement, where he suggested Su would only serve as legislator until year-end if elected mayor, Su thanked him for the encouragement, acknowledging the pressure. She pledged to work with the "New Taipei Team" to demonstrate their readiness and present their policies sincerely to the citizens, aiming for an "upgraded New Taipei."

I am very grateful for the president's encouragement, but it is also great pressure. I will go all out with the New Taipei Team and stick to our posts.
