People Power Party’s Lee Beomsu, Preliminary Gongju City Council Candidate: "Revitalizing Both Gangbuk Education and Small Business Owners"

Presenting a Two-Track Approach:
Eliminating Educational Disparities and Revitalizing the Local Economy

Lee Beomsu, preliminary candidate for Gongju City Council from the People Power Party, has announced his bid for re-election, putting forth the elimination of educational disparities in Gangbuk and the reinforcement of support for small business owners as his key campaign pledges.

Based on his four years of experience in the council, Lee plans to implement "tangible policies" that citizens can genuinely feel.

On April 27, Lee told The Asia Business Daily, "I promise that no one will have to leave Gongju because of education," adding, "I will improve the poor educational environment in the Gangbuk area to create a setting where students can learn and grow within the community."

To achieve this, he has proposed the reorganization of educational infrastructure, such as relocating middle schools, as a core solution.

In the area of the local economy, Lee emphasized the need for more effective support for small business owners.

He said, "Compared to the agriculture and livestock sectors, support for small business owners is less tangible," and continued, "I will go beyond simple credit card fee reductions or insurance assistance, and supplement policies to provide real help for sustaining their livelihoods."

He particularly stated, "Conviction is not stubbornness, but a standard for judging right and wrong from the citizens' perspective," emphasizing, "I will continue to steadfastly raise my voice for the underprivileged."

Lee cited the "Ordinance on Supporting Childcare Services" as a representative example of his legislative achievements.

This ordinance, which provides full financial support for parental contributions, won the top prize among innovative best practices in South Chungcheong Province.

Additionally, he listed the increase of welfare allowances for spouses of veterans and the introduction of overseas experiential learning programs for third-year middle school students as major accomplishments.

As a solution for population issues, Lee proposed policies to encourage childbirth.

He emphasized, "Rather than policies focused on changing addresses, it is essential to genuinely increase the birth rate," and added, "Tangible policies such as housing support for families with multiple children are needed."

Regarding the direction of his future legislative activities, Lee stated, "I will focus on concrete changes rather than abstract slogans," and presented the elimination of educational imbalance and substantial support for small business owners as the two main pillars.

Lee concluded, "Citizens living in Gongju must be the happiest for external population inflow to occur," adding, "I will persistently seek solutions within the framework of law and principles, and repay your support by representing the voices of powerless citizens."
