Early life and career[]

David Huang was born to parents Huang Chu-wen and Huang Shu-ying.[1] He earned a bachelor's degree in political science from Chinese Culture University before receiving a master's and doctoral degree from National Chengchi University and the University of Southern California, receptively.[2] He subsequently taught at Tamkang University and the Kainan School of Management,[2] then worked for the Examination Yuan.[1] Huang also ran a consultancy firm.[3]

Political career[]

Huang was a founding member of the Taiwan Solidarity Union, and his father the party's first chairman.[4] David Huang was a member of the Examination Yuan until launching a legislative campaign representing Taipei in 2004.[1][5] Despite Democratic Progressive Party incumbent Shen Fu-hsiung actively supporting another DPP candidate, Huang managed to win a seat on the Legislative Yuan.[6][7] Following his election, Huang was made TSU caucus leader.[8][9] Huang spent most of his term opposing initiatives that he believed would increase Chinese influence on Taiwan.[10][11][12] Huang stated on 5 November 2007 that he would leave the TSU if it did not reinstate expelled members Liao Pen-yen and Huang Chung-yuan.[13] Two days later, he withdrew from the party to participate in a Democratic Progressive Party primary,[14] which he lost to Tuan Yi-kang.[15] The TSU then rescinded support of Huang's 2008 campaign.[16] Huang spent the remainder of his legislative term as an independent.[2][17] After stepping down from the legislature, Huang served as vice president of Kainan University.[18][19] Huang was named a Democratic Progressive Party candidate for Taoyuan in preparation for the 2012 elections,[20] and later became a DPP spokesman.[21]
