On the same day, alongside his registration, Governor Lee announced his campaign slogan, "Decisiveness and Perseverance! Gyeongbuk is Lee Cheol-woo." According to his campaign officials, this slogan reflects his willingness to make bold decisions for regional development—such as the Daegu-Gyeongbuk Integrated New Airport and the Daegu-Gyeongbuk Administrative Integration—without regard to political gain or loss. It also represents his steadfast and persistent Gyeongsang-style leadership, pushing through once he sets his mind to something.

They added that, even as conservative politics face a crisis and even the Daegu-Gyeongbuk region is shaken, Governor Lee has shown unwavering loyalty, like a deeply rooted tree, during difficult times for the party, including the impeachment of the President, thereby earning the trust of the residents as a representative politician of Gyeongbuk.

Governor Lee's camp stated that they plan to fully activate the election campaign, emphasizing the continuity of provincial administration without interruption. Their determination is to achieve continuous innovation based on the solid foundation established so far, leading to tangible progress for Gyeongbuk Province.

In particular, they plan to appeal to voters by highlighting that overcoming major issues facing Gyeongbuk, such as the risk of regional extinction and revitalizing the local economy, requires proven leadership, not that of a novice.

Regarding his political philosophy, Governor Lee emphasized, "In times of crisis, I have made decisive choices and persevered to see things through to the end, maintaining both perseverance and political integrity." On recent domestic and international affairs, he stated, "We are in a period where both international affairs and domestic politics are unstable," stressing, "At times like these, unwavering leadership, like a deeply rooted tree, is essential."

Meanwhile, after completing his preliminary candidate registration on March 20, Governor Lee plans to hold the opening ceremony for his preliminary candidate office on the afternoon of March 21.
