Political career

Lee was deputy mayor of Chiayi between 2001 and 2004, when he left office to be appointed the vice minister of civil service. In 2005, he challenged Chen Li-chen in a mayoral primary, and lost.[1] Lee contested the Chiayi district legislative seat in 2012, defeating incumbent Chiang Yi-hsiung. Lee was elected co-convenor of the Internal Administration Committee alongside Wu Yu-sheng in 2014. The pair succeeded Chang Ching-chung, who had, by forcibly passing the Cross-Strait Service Trade Agreement through the committee earlier that year, inadvertently caused the Sunflower Student Movement.[2][3] Lee supported the creation of a committee to consider constitutional amendments in December.[4] Lee won reelection in 2016. After stepping down at the end of his legislative term in 2020, Lee served as deputy secretary-general of the presidential office.[5] In June 2022, Lee received the DPP nomination for the Chiayi mayoralty.[6] He was appointed deputy labor minister in January 2023.[7]
