Jeon Gyeong-seon, Jeonnam Provincial Assembly Member

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Jun-gyeong] Jeon Gyeong-seon (Democratic Party of Korea·Mokpo 5), chairman of the Jeonnam Provincial Council's Steering Committee, officially declared his bid for re-election by registering as a preliminary candidate for Jeonnam Provincial Council member on the 28th.

In a press release on the same day, Councilor Jeon stated, "In response to the increasingly deepening concentration in the metropolitan area, I will pioneer the era of local decentralization and grandly design Mokpo and Jeonnam within a big picture."

He continued, "I aspire to attract a medical school and university hospital to Mokpo, focus on the marine tourism industry comparable to Naples Port by uniting Shinan, and seek the revival of the shipbuilding industry jointly with Yeongam."

He added, "Local autonomy can only achieve its original purpose when residents are happy and their quality of life improves," promising, "I will take the lead and set an example so that our eternal Mokpo and Jeonnam become the most livable regions nationwide in the 21st and 22nd centuries."

Jeon, a two-term former Mokpo city council member, entered the 11th Jeonnam Provincial Council in 2018, served as chairman of the Health, Welfare, and Environment Committee in the first half, and currently holds the positions of Steering Committee chairman and chairman of the National Association of Steering Committee Chairpersons of City and Provincial Councils.

He has also solidified his position within the party through active party activities, serving as senior vice chairman and sponsor chairman of the Democratic Party Jeonnam Provincial Party, and chairing the nomination management committee for the 2020 by-election.

Known as a diligent councilor, Jeon has received the Manifesto Promise Award for three consecutive years and has been honored about ten times in various legislative evaluations, including the '2020 Korean Person of the Year Award' and the '2021 Korea Local Autonomy Evaluation-linked Legislative Award.'
