Vivian Huang Shan-shan (Chinese: 黃珊珊; born 18 October 1969) is a Taiwanese politician and lawyer, currently affiliated with the Taiwan People's Party.
Huang began her political career as a New Party member of the Taipei City Council in 1998.[1] She left the New Party in 2001, and was a member of the People First Party from 2002 to 2023.[2][3] In October 2019, she was appointed a deputy mayor of Taipei.[4][5] Huang's resignation from the deputy mayorship took effect on 28 August 2022,[6] and that year she ran for mayor of Taipei as a political independent,[7][8] ultimately coming in third.[9]
Huang announced she had joined the Taiwan People's Party (TPP) on 6 April 2023, and said on that day that she was backing Ko Wen-je's bid for the presidency in the 2024 presidential election.[10] Huang was elected to the Legislative Yuan in the 2024 legislative election as the first-ranked candidate on the TPP's proportional representation party list.[11] The TPP nominated Huang to serve as the speaker of the 11th Legislative Yuan.[12]
