徐慶元曾從大武鄉公所小秘書起步,歷任縣議員、副議長、省議員、立委,1997年台東縣長選舉以1025票之差敗給陳建年,為他生平唯一選舉敗績。四年後他捲土重來擊敗吳俊立、賴坤成當選縣長,任內延攬法官劉櫂豪出任副縣長,跨黨派治縣,政績頗受好評。卸任後他立即從公眾場合消失,長期神隱,直到昨天才現身陳瑩競選總部。
21年前政治身價如日中天的台東縣長徐慶元突然宣布不競選連任,且卸任後立即神隱,未再出現公共場合,行蹤成謎;昨天他突然出現在陳瑩競選總部,拜會昔日差點擊敗的政敵陳建年,力挺他女兒陳瑩選縣長,期許陳瑩「接好台東下一棒」,讓台東持續進步、穩健向前。
徐慶元是快被遺忘的人物,但2、30年前在政壇響叮噹,從大武鄉公所小秘書選上縣議員,當屆就當副議長,接著當選一屆省議員後又當選立委,迅速攀上地方政壇巔峰,直接挑戰當時的縣長陳建年,1997年台東縣長選舉,徐慶元與陳建年激烈競逐,在各方看好之中,最終僅以1025票之差敗選,讓陳建年嚇出一身冷汗,徐慶元質疑選票有問題,提出訴訟,但敗訴,這是他生平惟一選舉敗績。
4年後他捲土重來,擊敗吳俊立、賴坤成,當選縣長,延攬當時的法官劉櫂豪出任副縣長,跨黨派治縣,政績頗受好評,但又過4年,縣長選舉登記,他遲未登記,最後一天的下午突拋震撼彈「不選了」!改由劉櫂豪登記參選。他在卸任之後,立即從公眾場合消失,揮一揮衣袖,不帶走一片雲彩,讓親信都看傻眼,也再次實現各種職務只當一次的瀟灑作風,20多年來在政壇人間蒸發,只跟部分舊友聯絡。
徐慶元昨天回到台東,到陳瑩競選總部,與陳建年、陳瑩父女相見。陳瑩轉述徐特別表示,「不必再顧慮往事,過去的競爭都已經過去,一切應以台東的未來為優先。他希望台東不要退步,能有更正常、更穩健的發展,也因此願意全力相挺」。
令陳瑩更佩服的是,徐慶元在台東縣長任內,秉持「台東優先,政黨放一邊」的理念,跨越政黨藩籬,任用民進黨籍的劉櫂豪擔任副縣長,以實際行動展現地方發展優先的施政精神。從劉櫂豪、賴坤成的攜手支持,到陳建年、徐慶元兩位前縣長共同相挺,匯聚的是不同世代、不同政治背景的力量,大家願意跨越過去的競爭與歧見,是因為更在乎台東的未來,展現出來的,就是「把家鄉未來放在個人過往之前」的胸襟。
陳瑩也感謝徐慶元的夫人陳思慈,專程從加拿大返台,主動拜訪老朋友,為她輔選、拉票,將支持化為具體行動。前輩夫婦從分享治理經驗,到親自拜訪朋友、爭取認同,都讓她感受到兩人對家鄉的深厚感情,以及對台東下一棒的殷切期待。
