Su Chih-fen walks Huwei streets handing out leaflets on Taiwan's democracy

Sep 08, 2026

A former Yunlin lawmaker took to the streets after work to push back against the opposition bloc in Taiwan's legislature, framing the 2026 local elections as a fight over democracy itself.

  • Su Chih-fen, now head of the national livestock body, walked through Huwei town handing out "Good Life in Taiwan" leaflets promoting President Lai Ching-te's record.
  • She pointed to the KMT-TPP alliance in the legislature as a growing worry, and singled out lawmaker Weng Hsiao-ling's behavior as a sign of forces working behind the scenes.
  • The leaflets highlight cash policies: a share of AI gains for everyone, a doubled allowance for elderly farmers, and a higher basic pension.
  • She cast the 2026 local elections as the warm-up for the 2028 presidential race, and said democracy is the one thing separating Taiwan from China.

Outlook: She plans to hand out 30,000 leaflets on foot across Yunlin's coastal towns as campaign season heats up.
