Jaw lauded Chen's performance in the Legislative Yuan, describing her as someone who always fights on the front lines with strong argumentation and quick reactions.

Jaw further outlined a vision for Kinmen, transitioning it from a "military fortress" to a "beacon of peace." She emphasized the goal of making Kinmen a pivotal location for fostering cross-strait peace and human welfare. Addressing President Lai Ching-te, Jaw reiterated the KMT's stance on cross-strait dialogue, stating that peace is achievable if Lai "returns to the Constitution of the Republic of China and accepts and commits to the 1992 Consensus." She stressed that the "1992 Consensus is never 'one country, two systems'" and urged the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) to cease spreading rumors and creating excuses for not accepting the consensus.

Reflecting on her personal connection to Kinmen, Jaw shared that her father served there and her mother was pregnant with her when she returned to her maternal grandmother's home. She declared that Kinmen's past and present have shaped her life. Jaw concluded by calling for unity in the upcoming "five-in-one" elections, urging support for all KMT candidates to back Chen Yu-chen. She thanked Kinmen residents for their resilience and sacrifice in defending the island, which she credited for the "democracy and freedom of the Republic of China."
