Cheng Wen-Tsan 鄭文燦Mayor of Taoyuan City

Mayor Cheng Wen-Tsan is the first mayor of Taoyuan after its upgrade to a special municipality status in 2014 and has been elected to his second term since 2018. Cheng has demonstrated his passion for politics since he was serving as the vice president of NTU’s Student Association in 1990, when he and his peers launched the Wild Lily Student Movement that eventually enabled democracy to flourish in Taiwan.

Home to the nation’s largest international airport, Taoyuan is the gateway city to Taiwan. Cheng proposed the concept of “airport economics,” highlighting Taiwan’s advantageous sectors, such as aviation, logistics and warehousing, e-vehicle and component manufacturing, the green industry, IoT, and ICT. Cheng has been rated as a “five-star mayor” for four consecutive years by media in Taiwan, showing his outstanding ability in city governance.

Cheng also served as Minister of the Government Information Office, Executive Yuan, Spokesperson of Executive Yuan, and Deputy Secretary-General of the Straits Exchange Foundation.

2014年鄭文燦當選為桃園升格直轄市後的首任市長，並於2018年獲得連任。鄭市長自大學時期，即表現出他對公共事務的熱情與領導力。1990年，鄭市長擔任國立台灣大學學生會副會長，與其他學生共同發起野百合學運，最終促成臺灣民主體制。

桃園是臺灣門戶，擁有全國最大的國際機場。鄭市長在任內提出了「機場經濟學」概念，突顯臺灣的優勢產業，如航空、物流和倉儲、電動汽車和零部件製造、綠色產業以及物聯網和資通訊技術。鄭市長展現了卓越的城市治理能力，連續六年被全國媒體評為「五星級市長」，深受市民的肯定。

鄭市長也曾任行政院新聞局局長、行政院發言人及財團法人海峽交流基金會副秘書長等要職。
