Damien Chang

Damien Chang Xin-wen (born June 23, 1990) is a Gordican politician. A member of the Liberal Party, he is the 18th and current president of Gordica. Elected at the age of 30, he is the youngest president in the country's history.

Chang was born in Sanpedro, Bohamo and raised in nearby Sangpei. He is the son of politician-businessman Roberto Chang and activist Lee Diane Wang. He started his career as a political commentator for The Sangpei Journal at the age of 19 in 2010, and left the newspaper to work for the left-wing news website Project News in 2013. Chang announced his run for president in 2019, and defeated Nationalist opponent Reynaldo Alfonso in the 2020 Gordican presidential election.

Chang has variously been described as having left-wing and center-left views. Notable actions he has taken include fixing the country's ties with nearby Beikai, improving the overall Gordican economy, reinforcing predecessor Mark Galang's Words Over War policy, and focusing on the expansion and protection of LGBT rights in Gordica.
