Moon said, "The great residents have shown their desire to judge the incompetent and immoral Yoon Seok-yeol administration through the general election results," adding, "I will engrave that will in my heart and take the lead in judging the Yoon Seok-yeol administration that has neglected people's livelihoods and in launching the 4th democratic government."

He continued, "I promise to become a National Assembly member who breathes and communicates with local residents, creating a sustainable farming environment so that farmers and fishermen can lead stable lives, and promoting balanced development through local decentralization."
