Keelung's DPP mayoral candidate Tung Tzu-wei is pushing a plan to fix highway traffic, a positive pitch for commuters but one landing in a tight race where he trails in a rival party's poll.

• The first AI-animated policy clip promises smooth morning trips out of Keelung and easy evening returns.
• The core plan is widening National Highway 1 between Wudu and Xizhi to six lanes, which would raise traffic speeds from a crawl to highway pace.
• A longer-term goal is elevating the road so long trips use the highway and short trips use surface streets.
• The KMT released a poll showing incumbent mayor Hsieh Kuo-liang with over 55% satisfaction in all seven districts and big leads in three of them.
• Tung Tzu-wei's camp fired back that a national magazine survey ranks Hsieh Kuo-liang fourth from the bottom among all city and county leaders.

Outlook: Expect more AI-made campaign content and dueling polls as the Keelung mayoral race heats up.
