Kim Won-i, a member of the Democratic Party of Korea representing Mokpo, officially announced his candidacy for the chairmanship of the Democratic Party’s South Jeolla Provincial Committee on the morning of October 21, launching his campaign in earnest.

In his declaration of candidacy, Assemblyman Kim emphasized, “South Jeolla is currently facing a dual crisis of economic hardship and challenges to people’s livelihoods,” adding, “A strong leader is needed who can work closely with the Lee Jaemyung administration to ensure South Jeolla’s interests are upheld.”

He stated, “Since the launch of the government founded on popular sovereignty, South Jeolla has been presented with an opportunity for major transformation,” and identified the following as core tasks for the province’s development: establishing an RE100 industrial complex based on offshore wind power, founding a national medical school in the South Jeolla region, building specialized clusters for secondary batteries and materials, parts, and equipment, and fostering advanced materials and aerospace industries.

He also said, “The petrochemical and steel industries in the eastern region are in crisis and require active government support,” and pledged, “I will turn this crisis into an opportunity by integrating renewable energy in the western region with industries in the east. Drawing on my experience as a secretary of the National Assembly’s Trade, Industry, Energy, SMEs and Startups Committee, I will present effective solutions.”

On political issues, he remarked, “The rebellion is not yet over. South Jeolla must stand at the center and completely eradicate the forces of insurrection,” adding, “Through a landslide victory in next year’s local elections, I will help ensure the success of the Lee Jaemyung administration.”

Assemblyman Kim pledged, “I promise a fair and transparent nomination process,” and expressed his ambition by saying, “As a well-prepared leader with comprehensive experience in budgeting, legislation, policy, and political affairs, I will work to improve the livelihoods of South Jeolla’s residents and resolve economic challenges.”
