◆Progressive Party’s Lee Eun-young Holds Campaign Office Opening for Yangsan City Council’s Na District
Progressive Party candidate Lee Eun-young, running in the Na district for the Yangsan City Council, opened her campaign office on the 24th and emphasized a “people-first” approach to livelihoods.
About 100 people attended, including Jeon Hee-young, the Progressive Party’s candidate for Gyeongnam governor, officials from the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU), local residents and supporters.
Lee told attendees, “People must change for residents’ lives to change. In a political system dominated by two major parties, choose new leaders who can bring fresh change to Mulgeum and Wondong.”
She pledged that if elected to the council, she will establish a Yangsan municipal livelihood support fund modeled on the confirmed living support payments from Gyeongnam Province.
Lee also promised practical measures, including a care center for sick children, school-commute escorts, X-shaped diagonal crosswalks, roll-up sunshades for businesses to mitigate heatwaves, and initiatives to revitalize neighborhood shopping streets.
Lee graduated from Dong-A University. She chairs the Progressive Party’s Yangsan regional committee and works as a full-time staffer for the KCTU.
