They said, "Candidate Lee has continuously communicated with the disability community over the past four years and has created and supported policies reflecting voices from the field. A good example is the Severe Developmental Disabilities Convergence Support Center, which provides the nation's first 24-hour one-on-one care service and has become a nationwide model case for disability welfare."

They continued, "We believe that promises for disability welfare, such as strengthening disaster and safety support systems for people with disabilities, providing caregiving services for people with severe disabilities, enhancing lifelong education support for people with disabilities, expanding and stabilizing disability employment, supporting disabled artists and disability art organizations, promoting mobility rights for people with disabilities, and realizing non-discriminatory disability sports policies, will definitely be fulfilled."

We will take the lead in creating a 'Nation of People, Gwangju' together with candidate Lee."
