Ganghwa-su, Yeosu-gap Preliminary Candidate, Releases 150-Page Policy Pledge Book

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Cheol-eung] Kang Hwasu, the Democratic Party of Korea's preliminary candidate for Yeosu Gap in Jeonnam, announced on the 21st the release of his 10 core pledges and 100 policy task pledges booklet. This move emphasizes a policy-focused election.

Unlike local government head elections, there is no obligation to prepare a pledge booklet for National Assembly elections. He self-assessed that the announcement of a pledge booklet spanning about 150 pages is an unusual event.

Candidate Kang stated, “Currently, Yeosu's industrial base is weakening, the population is declining, and the old downtown area is losing vitality, standing at a turning point,” adding, “If elected as a National Assembly member, I will create 'Yeosu with my work, my life, and my dreams' through the implementation of the 10 core pledges and 100 policy task pledges.”

Candidate Kang was born in Yeosu, Jeonnam, graduated from Jinnam Elementary School, Gubong Middle School, Yeosu High School, and Yonsei University. He has served as a Peace Planning Administrator at the National Security Office of the Blue House under President Moon Jae-in, Policy Coordination Administrator at the Policy Office of the Blue House under President Roh Moo-hyun, the first Policy Advisor to the Minister of National Defense under the Moon Jae-in administration, Senior Researcher at the Korea Future Development Institute, and Chief Secretary to the Mayor of Nowon District.
