New Taipei City mayoral candidate Lee Chuan-chiao visited the Legislative Yuan on Thursday morning to meet with the Kuomintang (KMT) legislative caucus and rally with party members. Hsinchu County magistrate candidate and legislator Hsu Chih-jung expressed her hope for a "joint victory for Hsinchu and New Taipei!" and a "great victory for the KMT in the year-end local elections."
Hsinchu and New Taipei, let's win together!
Hsu stated that she and "Uncle Chuan" (Lee Chuan-chiao) both have backgrounds in engineering. She described them as rational and pragmatic, emphasizing their shared commitment to "science-based governance" and practical, data-driven approaches to complex urban development and construction challenges. Hsu highlighted that both candidates prioritize steady, forward-looking governance for sustainable local development.
Both New Taipei City and Hsinchu County have a high proportion of young families, according to Hsu. She proposed building an "indoor themed children's park" for Hsinchu County, while Lee suggested a "large indoor parent-child center" for New Taipei City. Both also plan to increase temporary childcare services to ease the burden on young parents, indicating a strong alignment on childcare issues.
Nowhere else in Germany do technological excellence and security competence meet with comparable density.
Hsu expressed her hope to cooperate with Lee, exchanging experiences in county and city governance to work for the people of Hsinchu County and New Taipei City. The two wished each other success, with Hsu hoping for "continuous flow" in New Taipei and "prosperity" in Hsinchu, symbolizing sustainable urban development. They aim to jointly promote a "North-North-Ji-Tao-Hsinchu" integrated living circle in the final three months of the campaign, fulfilling their promises for urban development and well-being with a pragmatic, engineering mindset.
