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
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
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]
