Chiang Wan-an (Chinese: 蔣萬安; 26 December 1978) is a Taiwanese politician. Born 章萬安 and formerly known as Wayne Chang,[1] he is the son of John Chiang and a grandson of Chiang Ching-kuo. Chiang Wan-an worked as a business lawyer prior to beginning a political career.
Education and early career
His high school's valedictorian, Chiang attended National Chengchi University in Taipei, majoring in law and international relations. Upon graduation from NCCU, he worked for the law firm Lee and Li. Later, Chiang became an aide in the National Assembly. He was accepted to the University of Pennsylvania Law School in 2002, and left for the United States.[1] After Chiang earned his degree, he practiced law in the United States before returning to Taiwan in 2013.[2][3]
Political career
Chiang faced Lo Shu-lei in the first round of the Kuomintang party primary in April 2015.[4] After Lo failed to build a sufficient lead, another primary was called the next month, which Chiang won.[5] He ran as the KMT candidate for Taipei City's third constituency in the 2016 legislative elections and won a seat in the Legislative Yuan.[6] The Taipei District Prosecutors’ Office ended an investigation of vote-buying accusations against Chiang in March, but did not charge him with wrongdoing.[7]
