"A Comfortable Jangan-gu Where Citizens' Rights Are Restored"
After tasting bitter defeat in the 2006 local elections, candidate Lee is making a comeback to the June 2 local elections this year with fierce determination. This time, he will compete as a candidate for the Gyeonggi Provincial Assembly in a three-month race.
He is firmly committed to correcting the benefits that Jangan-gu residents deserve to enjoy and building a comfortable Jangan-gu, and becoming an undercover inspector representing Suwon citizens in the Gyeonggi Provincial Assembly, which is barren in comparison.
Lee, a graduate of Dongguk University's Graduate School of Business Administration and currently serving as chairman of the Democratic Party Council in Jeongja-dong, Jangan-gu, and as an instructor at Seogang Vocational College, stated: "Based on 29 years of public service experience (retired Army Lieutenant Colonel) and diverse civil petition administration experience, I stand here to restore citizens' rights and build a comfortable Jangan-gu." He added, "I will become a local public servant who understands the joys and sorrows of citizens and serves with sacrifice and dedication."
He also expressed regret that his second hometown of Suwon's Jangan-gu lacks convenient facilities such as general hospitals and department stores, and is plagued with aging and deteriorated housing. Additionally, he pledged to actively promote the stalled light rail project and expand transportation facilities near Sungkyunkwan University.
To achieve this, candidate Lee put forward policy pledges including ▲transparency of taxes (national and local) and expansion of citizens' right to know ▲efficient civil service operation to save national budgets and active promotion of welfare policies for the elderly ▲conversion of positions of National Assembly members and provincial/city council members to unpaid volunteer positions to save 4.7 trillion won in taxpayer money over four years ▲realization of environmentally-friendly free school meals.
Candidate Lee stated: "Based on diverse public service experience including serving as conductor of the 51st Division Army Band, I will dedicate myself entirely to the development of our Jangan-gu." He added, "As a local public servant working to create a transparent assembly and transparent local government, I will do my best."
Candidate Lee is a graduate of the Army Academy at Yeongcheon and earned a master's degree in business administration from Dongguk University Graduate School of Business Administration. He served as speech committee member for Democratic United Party candidate Jung Dong-young in Jangan-gu, Suwon City, and as conductor of the Presidential Protocol Army Band.
