I will create a warm world, welfare expert Lee Ki-woo

Lee Ki-woo (45), a Democratic Party preliminary candidate who served as a member of the 17th National Assembly, declared his candidacy for the Gwonseon-gu electoral district.

The preliminary candidate stated, "In the 17th Assembly, I served as secretary of the Health and Welfare Committee and participated in institutionally establishing many social welfare policies," adding "low birth rates and aging population measures, long-term care insurance for the elderly, basic pension for the elderly, expanded health insurance coverage for cancer and other conditions are social policies related to myself."

Lee, a native of Suwon, advocated for an era of universal welfare.

The preliminary candidate emphasized, "A country where 99 percent must sacrifice for 1 percent of the wealthy is not a welfare state," and stressed, "As a prepared welfare expert who has worked on legislative activities and policy alternatives in the welfare field for over ten years, I will create a new era and new welfare paradigm."

Additionally, preliminary candidate Lee Ki-woo revealed, "Suwon, Hwaseong, and Osan, which have shared the same culture and living sphere for a long time, must be integrated and emerge as a new metropolitan entity."

The preliminary candidate said, "We must prevent redundant investments in various urban infrastructure facilities and convert them into creative investments for improving citizens' quality of life," and stated, "I will spare no effort to ensure that the integration supported by many citizens becomes an integration where all three cities can prosper together."

The preliminary candidate graduated from Yusin High School, served as president of Sungkyunkwan University's student body, and held positions as a member of the 5th Gyeonggi Provincial Council and 17th National Assembly member.

He is currently serving as a dedicated professor at Sungkyunkwan University's Industry-Academic Cooperation Foundation, adjunct professor of social welfare at Jangan University, chairman of the Health Industry Chief Executive Officers Council, president of the Gyeonggi Future Development Research Institute, and honorary president of the Suwon Baseball Association, among other activities.
