Transparent, independent politics
No political donations. Clear records. Public accountability.
Chen Li-Shin · Taipei City Electoral District 5 (Zhongzheng and Wanhua) · Independent
The largest hidden cost in politics is distrust. Money, factions, and personal obligations make residents wonder whose interests sit behind a decision—and make it harder to recognize public servants who are doing careful work.
Li-Shin has pledged not to accept political donations. The campaign will be the first test of that commitment: publish what can be examined, explain decisions in plain language, and earn trust through a record rather than a promise.
Publish the working schedule
Regularly disclose council and constituent-service activity so residents can see how their representative spends public time.
Make questions and votes understandable
Publish council questions, votes, and budget positions in language a resident can follow without needing to decode legislative procedure.
Go beyond minimum conflict rules
Disclose relevant personal interests, step aside from matters that create a conflict, and explain the decision publicly.
An official channel for scam checks
Because the campaign does not solicit donations, any fundraising request in Li-Shin’s name is fraudulent. Maintain a clear way for residents to verify suspicious messages.
Make the campaign transparent
Publish a clear overview of campaign spending and make the election itself the first accountability report.
Build a public council dashboard
Create one place to review schedules, questions, votes, and budget positions after taking office.
Raise the default standard
Push Taipei City Council toward stronger institution-wide disclosure so transparency no longer depends on individual goodwill.
