Opposition billboards call candidate 'Princess Su'; she vows positive campaign

Opposition party operatives have erected billboards in Taipei targeting New Taipei City mayoral candidate Su Chiao-hui, labeling her "Princess Su." The billboards also reportedly criticized Taipei mayoral candidate Shen Po-yang as "Taipei's lecturing man."

Su Chiao-hui, a candidate for the Democratic Progressive Party, responded to the billboards on July 19, stating that such tactics will likely backfire and alienize voters. She emphasized that her campaign, along with the "New Taipei team," will present their policy visions and aspirations with a "sunny, positive attitude."

Such billboards will instead alienate voters.

Speaking at the establishment of a support group, Su highlighted that her campaign has been underway for over 700 days. She pointed to her fellow candidates, both incumbents and newcomers, as examples of the team's commitment to a "positive, young, and energetic approach" in communicating their vision to citizens. She included Liang Yu-tzu, a mayoral candidate for Pingtung, as part of this forward-looking team.

"We will definitely use a new attitude, a positive attitude, to tell everyone that candidates of the new era are all about this sunny, positive attitude, an attitude of discussing policy visions," Su stated. She asserted that the "new era" demands this approach as they take on the responsibilities ahead.
