On May 14, Candidate Bora Kim signed the "Policy Agreement for Creating Hope in Local Government during the 9th Term of Civil Election" with Hope Institute, a leading civil society think tank (Director Eun-Kyung Lee). This agreement was established to build a social innovation ecosystem in the local community based on citizen participation and public-private governance, and to tangibly enhance citizen well-being.

In particular, Hope Institute announced that it had selected Candidate Bora Kim as the "right person for innovation," who will cultivate new hope in the region by implementing people-centered social values and ambitious social innovation policies. Through this agreement, Candidate Kim pledged to actively cooperate in realizing the values of grassroots democracy, establishing a local circular economy based on regional resources, improving the quality of life in areas such as education, care, and human rights, and fostering hope for youth in the AI transformation era, as part of the "46 Hope Pledges."

Recently, not only Hope Institute but also many other organizations and institutions inside and outside the region—including the Sustainable Tourism Forum, with whom an agreement was signed yesterday—have been flooding Candidate Kim’s campaign with policy proposals and requests for discussions. This is seen as a reflection of rising expectations for an experienced administrative expert who can bring about concrete change in Anseong amid an election environment rife with slander and agitation.

Candidate Kim stated, "While my opponent is preoccupied with negative campaigning, I am dedicating all of my time to refining even one more policy that will design Anseong’s next 100 years and transform the lives of its citizens," emphasizing, "Anseong is no longer a beginner learning through trial and error, but urgently needs proven competence to responsibly complete the major transformation that has already begun."

Candidate Kim went on to reaffirm her commitment to the core themes of her campaign pledges: "Great Anseong City, Proud Anseong Citizens, and a Prosperous Anseong Living Together." She outlined her plans to solidify advanced industry ecosystems such as semiconductors and future mobility, ensure citizens benefit from development profits through the establishment of Anseong Urban Corporation, and open the era of Anseong railways as soon as possible, thereby accomplishing key tasks and seeing Anseong’s innovation through to completion.

Candidate Kim declared, "I will uphold a clean election culture in which we compete with policies and are evaluated by results until the end," adding, "I will earn the wise choices of citizens through a meticulous policy blueprint dedicated solely to Anseong’s development and the certain happiness of its people."
