Lin Ying-meng

She took office as councillor of Taipei City in 2018, on Constitution Day, which coincides with Christmas Day. Her term will end in 2022. As a member of the legislature in the capital of Taiwan, the Taipei City Government and Mayor is responsible to her and her colleagues. When questioned by Lin in 2019, the administration in Taipei confirmed that all same-sex couples who intended to marry on 24 May, the date when same-sex marriage was implemented nationwide, within the capital would be able to do so. All Household Registration Offices would work overtime to accommodate these couples.

Lin has come out openly as a bisexual woman. On 20 January 2018, she announced during NPP's anniversary that she would run for the seat of councillor representing Daan-Wenshan. Coincidentally, Miao Po-ya, Social Democratic Party's intended candidate for the same constituency, is her ex-girlfriend. In March 2019, her assistant became her boyfriend.

On 24 March 2017, Lin was appointed spokeswoman of NPP headquarters.
