Chang Hung-lu (Chinese: 張宏陸; pinyin: Zhāng Hónglù; born 10 January 1972) is a Taiwanese politician.

Early life

Chang obtained his bachelor's degree in political science from Soochow University and master's degree in education from National Taipei University of Education.[1]

Political career

Chang is a close ally of Su Tseng-chang,[2][3] having worked for him from 1996 to 2004. From 2002 to 2005, he led the Taipei County Bureau of Civil Affairs.[4][5] Chang stepped down from the Democratic Progressive Party's Central Standing Committee in 2010.[6] During his stint on the New Taipei City Council, ten members of the council were charged with "divulging secrets" in a council speakership election. All charges were cleared by the Taiwan High Court in January 2015.[7] Chang ran for the Banqiao District seat in the Legislative Yuan in 2016, and succeeded incumbent Lin Hung-chih, who did not run for reelection.[8]
