Dear fellow Election Committee Member,
Hello! I am Horace Cheung, a candidate for Election Committee constituency of the Legislative Council Election.
Since becoming a praccicing lawyer in 2000, I have been actively involved in the Patriotic Front, serving as the first Chairman of the Young DAB and as a member of the All-China Youth Federation, actively promoting youth work.
In terms of political experience, I served as Councilor of the Central and Western District Council for many years, and elected as a member of the Legislative Council for the Hong l<ong Island constituency in 2016. I was later appointed as an Executive Council member and was given opportunities to deal with social issues in Hong Kong.
In terms of my Legislative Council career, I served as chairman of the Panel on Constitutional Affairs and the Panel on Administration of Justice and Legal Services. I have also chaired or vice-chaired a number of important bills committees, including the co-location of immigration and customs facilities for the Express Rail Link, the National Anthem Law, the National Flag and Emblem Law, and the improvement of the electoral system, etc. During my term of office, I have done my utmost to counteract the filibustering and conclude deliberations.
The Election Committee sector of the Legislative Council is newly established for the upcoming term. Although there are only 1,500 voters, it is significant because it is a microcosm of the whole community and a symbol of Hong Kong's second reunification. I have decided to run for re-election in this new sector because I hope to be in a more broadly representative position to address the aspirations of different groups and strata of society from a broad perspective, and to explore balance and fairness in the distribution of interests, so as to achieve good governance.
CHEUNG Kwok Kwan, Horace

Election Platform
To promote Hong Kong's reform and change, the DAB believes it is imperative to defend the hard-won stability. It would help improve governance efficiency and allow the government to focus on solving the population's most pressing concerns, such as housing, helping the underprivileged, and medical issues. By responding to people's most urgent needs, the government can blaze a new economic trail and help the youth spread their wings to accelerate long-term development. And by improving transportation, making the city greener and solving community problems, the government can create a more liveable city. As such, the DAB submits the following proposals and requests:
Establish a national identity, safeguard stability and security
Pass on Chinese culture, deepen understanding of the country, improve the legal framework, and ensure the safety and stability of the nation and Hong Kong
