Lee Chin-yung

I tend to trust politicians who came up through the judiciary, and Lee Chin-yung fits that mold. Born in rural Sihhu, Yunlin County, he trained in law at National Taiwan University before entering public life, serving in the Legislative Yuan, then as Mayor of Keelung, and eventually as magistrate of his home Yunlin County. That arc, from a small farming township to leading both city and county, reflects a level of earned local trust you cannot manufacture. A lawyer turned governor usually carries a spine of principle into the job, and I quietly respect that steadier, less flashy kind of public service.
