Chiang Chieh-an is of Hakka descent. Her father-in-law was the writer Chung Chao-cheng.[1][2]
Chiang Chien-an was appointed to the Legislative Yuan via a proportional representation party list as a representative of the Democratic Progressive Party.[3]
She took office on 17 July 2018, succeeding Kolas Yotaka, who joined the William Lai-led Executive Yuan as the spokesperson. In May 2019, an amendment to the Referendum Act proposed by Chiang was advanced to a second reading without undergoing committee review.[3][4][5]
The amendment included a clause that required voters to present their National identification card when voting in a referendum. It also called for referendums to be held separately from elections and only once every two years. The opposition Kuomintang caucus raised concerns about the national identification card requirement, and it was removed before the amendment splitting referendums from elections passed.[6][7][8][9]
