She continued, “The Democratic Party must innovate to overcome prosecutorial dictatorship. Please unite your support behind Cheon Gyeong-bae, a symbol of Democratic Party reform and an innovative figure who has worked on prosecution reform.”

Former Gyeonggi Research Institute Director Lee Han-joo said, “During the process of attempting over 150 innovative policies in Seongnam City and Gyeonggi Province, preliminary candidate Cheon Gyeong-bae was with me. Innovation requires removing what must be removed, and the person needed for Yeongam·Muan·Sinan, which requires new innovation and new leadership, is preliminary candidate Cheon Gyeong-bae.”

Former Innovation Committee Chair Kim Eun-kyung emphasized, “When I was recruited as the Democratic Party Innovation Committee Chair to prepare innovation plans, I was able to complete them with the help of candidate Cheon Gyeong-bae. Please send another icon of innovation, Cheon Gyeong-bae, to the National Assembly.”

Cheon Ji-hee, spouse of Superintendent of Education Kim Dae-jung, said, “Preliminary candidate Cheon Gyeong-bae’s past activities and path have sufficient capability to completely change the future of Yeongam, Sinan, and Muan. I ask for your support and encouragement for candidate Cheon.”

Finally, preliminary candidate Cheon Gyeong-bae took the podium and declared his candidacy, stating, “Until now, local politicians have survived by trading on Kim Dae-jung’s name, but they have failed to rescue Yeongam·Muan·Sinan from decline and stagnation. Now it must change. It must be completely transformed.”

Candidate Cheon also announced a development strategy for Yeongam·Muan·Sinan that day.

He stated, “I will create Yeongam, Muan, and Sinan where urban, rural, and fishing villages all prosper together through the formation of a joint development triangular belt and the promotion of regional industrial special zones.”

He added, “We will promote Yeongam·Muan·Sinan as a pilot region for basic income guaranteeing the basic livelihood of residents, and establish the (tentative name) Yeongam·Muan·Sinan 2nd Revival Committee, a mammoth permanent consultative body encompassing the region, Seoul, nationwide, and overseas, to create a golden era for Yeongam, Muan, and Sinan in this era of crisis.”

Preliminary candidate Cheon Gyeong-bae said, “Over the past 20 years, I have gained skills and experience working in the party, National Assembly, government, and local governments. Together with Democratic Party leader Lee Jae-myung, I will fight against the Yoon Seok-youl prosecutorial dictatorship regime to lead the Democratic Party’s general election victory and the era change of Yeongam·Muan·Sinan.”

Meanwhile, running under the slogan “To Change, I Came from Lee Jae-myung’s Party Leader’s Office,” preliminary candidate Cheon Gyeong-bae served as the first External Cooperation Team Leader at Seongnam City Hall (Mayor Lee Jae-myung), the first Sejong Office Director at Gyeonggi Province (Governor Lee Jae-myung), Senior Political Affairs Team Leader at Lee Jae-myung’s presidential candidate secretariat, and Director of the Secretary’s Office for Party Leader Lee Jae-myung.

He also contributed to regime change as Team Leader of the Secretariat for Moon Jae-in’s presidential candidate’s permanent election committee and fought on the front lines of prosecution reform while serving as Deputy Director of Political Coordination at Party Leader Choo Mi-ae’s Secretariat and as Secretary to Minister of Justice Choo Mi-ae.
