Three-Term Village Chief Aims for Kaohsiung Council Seat, Vows to Expand 'Chongshi Experience'

Wu Wuxiong, who has served three terms as the village chief of Chongshi in Kaohsiung's Zuoying District, has officially announced his bid for a city council seat in the Zuonan district. Wu declared his intention to replicate and expand the successful "Chongshi Experience," a model of community engagement and service, across the entire Zuonan area.

At a fundraising music dinner that attracted numerous business figures, community representatives, and local residents, Wu outlined his campaign's core tenets: "Ending conflict is paramount, ensuring peace in Kaohsiung, protecting Chongshi, and innovating Zuonan." He emphasized his extensive grassroots experience and deep understanding of local affairs as crucial assets for his new role.

Wu highlighted his commitment to addressing the practical needs of residents, citing his work on community development, environmental improvements, traffic issues, preservation of眷村 (military dependents' villages) culture, and care for vulnerable populations and the elderly. He believes his experience positions him well to tackle the new challenges arising from rapid industrial development and population growth in the Zuoying and Nanzi regions, accepting the responsibility to serve at a larger scale.
