Making Suwon a City of Highest Happiness Index

Yang Chang-soo, Suwon Mayor Preliminary Candidate

"It should not be for personal ambition, but the person who should become Suwon mayor is the one the citizens of Suwon demand." Yang Chang-soo (60), chairman of Milco Auto World who announced his candidacy for Suwon mayor, said "I will create a city where citizens are happy, not just the city itself. I will run in the election with the goal of building a city with the world's highest citizen happiness index."

Having completed his preliminary candidate registration on the 22nd of last month, Yang completed the endorsement from the Future Hope Alliance (pro-Park alliance) and began full-scale election preparations. Candidate Yang stated, "In the Suwon Chamber of Commerce and Industry election last year, I failed to change the existing vested interests by just one vote, but I heard the voices of business people demanding change," and explained his candidacy, saying "Over the past 10 years, citizens of stagnant Suwon also desire such change, which is why I decided to run for Suwon mayor."

He continued, "Suwon city has 1.4 trillion won, but is also burdened with 270 billion won in debt," and "This shows how inefficiently the limited finances have been spent. If discretionary budgets considering reelection were not issued recklessly, this result would not have occurred," criticizing the current administration's financial management.

In particular, he emphasized, "Through my experience ranging from entry-level employee to CEO in a company, I will set city administration right. I will become a mayor to whom citizens turn again after displaying all my abilities at once," and stressed "I want to become a local government leader who realizes self-governance rather than being a politician."

Meanwhile, Candidate Yang, having secured a campaign office near the Ajou University intersection, has launched a full-fledged election campaign by recruiting influential figures to oversee the election while simultaneously bringing together numerous people with abundant election experience into the election organization.
