As his main pledges, Candidate Choi proposed attracting an 'RE100-dedicated industrial complex' based on renewable energy, creating 'Sunlight Income Villages' as a resident-participatory profit model, and generating resident income through a sunlight pension scheme. He requested legislative and budgetary support at the National Assembly level for these initiatives.

In response, Representative Heo Jongsik stated, "The energy policies proposed by Candidate Choi are a future-oriented model that can address both regional extinction and the climate crisis. The National Assembly and the Democratic Party will actively support Geochang's growth as an energy self-sufficient city."

The two also exchanged views on measures to revitalize the local economy, create jobs for young people, and establish a sustainable industrial base.

Candidate Choi Changyeol remarked, "What matters more than presenting policies is actual execution," and pledged, "Based on a cooperative network with central political circles, I will ensure that Geochang's future strategic projects are fully realized."

Meanwhile, Representative Heo's visit to Geochang was seen as an opportunity to reaffirm the central political community's commitment to supporting the development of the local energy industry and future growth strategies.
