Integrating Hometown Love Donation Program and Local Currency
"A Skilled Leader is Needed to Complete Anseong's Innovation"

Kim Bora, the Democratic Party candidate for Mayor of Anseong, Gyeonggi Province, is focusing on a “policy-driven campaign” aimed at shaping Anseong’s future over the next 100 years, rather than responding to baseless negative attacks from her opponent. She is appealing to voters for their support.

On the 14th, Kim Bora signed a policy agreement with the “Sustainable Tourism Forum” and joined the “Pledge for a Circular Regional Economy to Grow the Local Treasury.” The purpose of this agreement is to create a virtuous cycle in which external citizens and tourists donate to, visit, and spend in Anseong—addressing the complex challenges of population decline and stagnation in the local commercial sector.


The five major pledges Kim Bora announced for the circular regional economy are as follows: ▲ Developing the Hometown Love Donation Program as a strategic resource for Anseong; ▲ Introducing half-price travel to convert donors into members of the resident population; ▲ Strengthening the circulation of local spending through local currency; ▲ Introducing a cyber resident ID to prepare for the era of multiple addresses; ▲ Establishing a sustainable tourism system (including ordinances and a dedicated organization).


Kim Bora particularly emphasized, “These pledges go beyond offering sightseeing experiences. They are policies to strengthen local finances by growing our budget through the Hometown Love Donation Program and preventing outflow of spending with local currency. Even people who do not live in Anseong can become ‘second residents’ who contribute to the growth of the local economy.”


Recently, Kim Bora’s campaign has been inundated with policy agreement proposals from various organizations both within and outside the region. This is seen as evidence of her proven leadership, as demonstrated by her achievements over the past six years, including ushering in the era of Anseong’s first 1.2 trillion won budget and successfully attracting a semiconductor materials and parts specialized complex.


Kim Bora stated, “Anseong is no longer a place for beginners enduring trial and error. This is a golden opportunity that requires a skilled leader to responsibly complete the great transformation already underway. While I will confidently confront my opponent’s smear campaigns, I am committed to competing to the end with a precise policy blueprint for Anseong’s development and the happiness of its citizens.”


Meanwhile, Kim Bora has made the guiding principle of her campaign pledges the pursuit of “A Great Anseong, Proud Citizens, and Prosperity through Togetherness,” and she has promised citizens concrete action plans for the city’s development.



Kim Bora plans to firmly advance key pledges that will transform the region, including strengthening the ecosystem for advanced industries such as semiconductors and future mobility, returning development profits to citizens through the establishment of the Anseong Urban Corporation, and opening the era of Anseong’s railway system as early as possible, thereby completing the innovation of Anseong without wavering.
