Five young CSU candidates from Passau are joining forces for the future!

In a remarkable initiative, five young CSU mayoral candidates from Passauer Land have joined forces to redefine district-wide cooperation. All candidates are under 40 years old and bring fresh ideas and a high level of enthusiasm. They see it as their responsibility to improve the quality of life in their communities and to preserve traditions while at the same time showing a willingness to innovate. That's what she reports Passauer Neue Presse.

The initiative of these young CSU politicians is based on the belief that a network of young local politicians can benefit from the experiences of other communities. The aim is not only to promote the direct exchange of ideas, but also to gain a broader perspective on local issues. This is particularly important for forming informed opinions and making your voice heard in the political debate.

Common goals and candidates

The five candidates who have joined forces are: Johannes Ramesberger (34) for Breitenberg, Simon Göschl (27) for Fürstenzell, Michael Voggenreiter (37) for Neuburg am Inn, Ernst Geislberger-Schießleder (32) for Pocking and Stephan Katzbichler (36) for Vilshofen. Together they have an average age of 33, which provides a breath of fresh air in local politics.

Everyone involved also wants more young candidates to join the network and contribute their experiences. The exchange should take place not only before but also after the local elections in 2026. There is agreement that cooperation between municipalities is crucial in order to find support together and develop innovative solutions.

Candidacy for mayor in Neuhaus

Parallel to this movement, the CSU in Neuhaus an der Pegnitz also has news to report. At its meeting, the CSU local association unanimously nominated Stephan Ertl as mayoral candidate for the 2026 local elections. Ertl, who already has extensive experience as a managing official and has been local chairman since 2019, succeeds Mayor Josef Springer, who will not run again after three terms in office. Springer fully supported Ertl's nomination, which speaks for the unity within the party. Further information can be found at N-Land.

Stephan Ertl, 48 years old and lives with his family in the Höfen district, emphasizes that the further development of his community and cooperation in the local council are particularly important to him. His experience and qualities as a leader and local politician are a valuable asset for the CSU in Neuhaus.

Overall, it is clear that the young CSU candidates in the Passauer Land and the nomination of Ertl in Neuhaus an der Pegnitz have a clear will not only to shape the local political landscape, but also to take on new positions with a fresh approach. These developments are not only locally relevant, but are also linked to the overarching goals of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group, which wants to integrate local authority into federal policy.
