Yeongcheon Mayor Choi Ki-moon Kicks Off Third Term Bid

Ahead of the June 3 local elections, Choi Ki-moon, an independent candidate bidding for a third term as Yeongcheon Mayor, has officially entered the election campaign with the opening of his campaign office. Choi is highlighting stable leadership and administrative capabilities through his three-pillar strategy of 'achievements, organization, and communication.'

During his tenure, Choi pointed to the opening of the Seoyeongcheon Hi-pass IC as a key achievement, underscoring his results-oriented leadership. This project is credited with reducing logistics costs and improving accessibility for the Geumho and Daechang industrial complexes, laying the groundwork for regional economic revitalization.

Securing trust within the public service sector has positively contributed to Choi's competitiveness. The Yeongcheon City Public Service Labor Union of the Federation of Korean Trade Unions has declared its support for Choi, highly commending his administrative experience, policy implementation drive, and field-focused communication skills.

Choi Ki-moon continues to engage with citizens by reflecting their voices, for example, through his 'Comment Reading' content on Facebook. He is reinforcing his image as an 'approachable mayor' and a 'listening mayor' by proposing resident-focused campaign pledges, such as free milk for elementary, middle, and high school students.

With 'development through stability' as his core message, Choi is building momentum based on his proven achievements, organizational strength, and enhanced communication. The Yeongcheon mayoral race is shaping up to be a three-way contest against candidates Kim Byeong-sam and Lee Jeong-hoon. Choi is showcasing his competitiveness by emphasizing 'leadership proven by results' and 'communicative politics that involve citizens.' The key question remains whether his achievements and experience in municipal administration will translate into the community's choice.
