Helmut Schmidt: Mayor election in Rüdesheim - the local hero occurs!

In the municipality of Rüdesheim, the SPD candidate Helmut Schmidt, current mayor of Waldböckelheim, senses his chance of the mayor's office. With 100 percent of the votes, he was nominated as a candidate for the mayoral election and competes against the incumbent Mayor Markus Lüttger from the CDU on Sunday, June 29th. Schmidt is 56 years old and is in his third term as a local mayor. The nomination event took place in its home community, where it was not only considered a familiar face, but was also warmly supported by Rhineland-Palatinate Prime Minister Alexander Schweitzer. Schmidt took the opportunity to present his plans and visions for the community.

"I know the challenges of our community and would like to shape politics -related politics," emphasized Schmidt in his imagination. His experiences in local politics are remarkable: he has been active for 16 years, of which for 11 years as a local mayor and for 7 years as group leader in the VG Council. "This is a good foundation that I can build on," he added. Markus Stein, chairman of the SPD community association, praised not only Schmidt's calm manner, but also his local political expertise and the passion with which he works for the people in the community.
