Atsushi Suzuki (鈴木 敦, Suzuki Atsushi, born 15 December 1988) is a Japanese politician who is a member of the House of Representatives since 2021.[1] Suzuki is the fourth youngest member of the National Diet after Yuki Baba, Shin Tsuchida and Nobuchiyo Kishi.
Early life[edit]
Suzuki was born in Kawasaki, Kanagawa. After dropping out of Surugadai University, he became a staff member for former House of Representatives member and Liberal Party official Hiro Takayoshi[2] before becoming the staff in charge of the Democratic Party for the People (DPFP) National Diet Task Force.[3]
Political career[edit]
In October 2021, it was announced that the DPFP will run Suzuki as the party's candidate for Kanagawa's 10th District in the 2021 general election.[4] Partly due to his limited time for campaigning as he became the party's nominee just a few weeks before the election, he lost to Liberal Democratic Party candidate Kazunori Tanaka, but was elected in through the Southern Kanto proportional representation block.[5]
In November 2023, Suzuki alongside 4 other members split from the DPFP to become a founding member of Free Education for All, in which he was appointed as Chairman of the National Assembly Policy Committee.[6][7]
