Chang Hung-lu (; born 10 January 1972) is a Taiwanese politician. A member of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP), he currently serves as a member of the Legislative Yuan.
Born in Taichung, 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]
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] He retained the seat in the 2020 election.
In September 2023, along with fellow legislators, Chang traveled to the United States to join a New York City march in support of Taiwan's bid to join the United Nations.[9]
