Early life
editSuzuki 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
editIn October 2021, it was announced that the DPFP will run Suzuki as the party's candidate in Kanagawa 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]
In the 2024 election, Suzuki ran in the Southern Kanto PR block for the Sanseitō party and held onto his seat.[8]
