Lee Jeong-soon, Chair of Namdong District, Announces Candidacy for Incheon City Council in 'Namdong District 4th Electoral District'

Lee Jeong-soon, Chair of Incheon Namdong District Council, has officially announced her candidacy for Incheon City Council in the upcoming June 3 local elections. She aims to elevate her role and challenge for wider administrative responsibilities based on her 8 years of council activities and experience as chair.

The chair recently revealed on her Facebook that she has completed the document registration for the qualification review of preliminary candidates for the Incheon City Council in the June local elections. In her statement of candidacy, she defined her past 8 years of legislative activities as 'communication centred on the field' and highlighted the process of directly listening to residents' voices and finding solutions to conflicts as the core value of politics.

The chair emphasized, "The role of local politics is not to ignore conflicts or make unilateral judgments, but to respect each resident's position and seek common solutions," adding, "I will prepare for the election while reflecting on the mindset I had when I first started in politics."

The chair holds a master's degree in gerontology from Inha University and is a two-term council member who served in the 8th and 9th Namdong District Councils. She is noted for her rich practical experience in legislative affairs, having served as the chair of the 8th Council's Operations Committee and as the chair of the 9th Council's first half. Additionally, she has been actively involved in various social activities, including serving as the Incheon representative for the Democratic Party's Women Local Council Members Association and as a prevention committee member for the Korean Crime Prevention Movement Headquarters.

The Namdong District 4th Electoral District (Guwol 2-dong, Ganseok 2 and 3-dong) where the chair has thrown her hat in the ring is currently represented by Shin Dong-seob, a member of the People Power Party.
