She began her political career working for the Chiayi City Environmental Protection Bureau and later the Department of Health.

She defeated Lee Chun-yi in a party primary, and the DPP backed Chen as its Chiayi mayoral candidate for the 2005 elections. She lost to Kuomintang candidate Huang Min-hui, who left the legislature to assume the mayoralty. Chen then contested Huang's vacant legislative seat on behalf of the DPP, and lost to Chiang Yi-hsiung.
