Chiang Nai-shin (Chinese: 蔣乃辛; pinyin: Jiǎng Nǎixīn; born 24 September 1948) is a Taiwanese politician. He served in the Taipei City Council from 1982 to 2009, when he was elected to the Legislative Yuan.

Education

[edit]

Chiang attended Tatung University, where he earned a master's degree in business administration.[1]

Political career

[edit]

Chiang was elected to the Taipei City Council in 1981 and served until 2009.[2] After Diane Lee resigned her legislative seat in January 2009, Chiang won a four-way primary held on 8 February to represent the Kuomintang in the resulting by-election.[3][4] He subsequently defeated six other candidates in the by-election held on 28 March.[5][6]

The Democratic Progressive Party nominated retired baseball player George Chao [zh] to run against Chiang in 2012.[7][8] During his 2016 campaign, Chiang was first opposed by Freddy Lim, a member of the New Power Party,[9] who soon ceded the race to fellow candidate Fan Yun [zh] of the Social Democratic Party.[10] Chiang easily defeated Fan and Minkuotang candidate Wu Hsu-chih.[11][12]
