Political career

Huang served on the Taichung City Council from 1998 to 2015,[2] when he was elected to the Legislative Yuan after winning a by-election against Hsiao Chia-chi.[3] Since taking his seat in the legislature, Huang has researched safety standards for young children and participated in discussions about education.[4] He was named a convenor of the Legislative Yuan's Education and Culture Committee in March 2016, alongside Apollo Chen.[5] From this position, Huang has opposed the proposed merger of Tainan National University of the Arts with National Cheng Kung University, stating that such a move was a "top-down effort" to "kill TNNUA’s founding spirit."[6] He has supported attempts to remove military instructors from educational institutions in Taiwan.[7][8] During his legislative tenure, Huang has worked to uncover improprieties in many governmental agencies and programs.[9][10][11] Huang has frequently been critical of organizations providing oversight of sports in Taiwan.[12][13][14]
