The Free Democrats again have their local headquarters in Mainhausen.
More recently, the members of the FDP Mainhausen were assigned to the regional association FDP Seligenstadt, Hainburg and Mainhausen, which formally served as an umbrella organization in the eastern district of Offenbach. Thanks to constant membership growth and excellent electoral results in Mainhausen in recent years, the local Free Democrats are now daring to take the step towards independence. In the municipal parliament of Mainhausen, the FDP has been represented with three members as a parliamentary group since the local elections in March 2021.
At their founding general meeting, the Mainhausen liberals unanimously elected Matthias Kemmerer, responsible for construction, environment and transport policy in the FDP parliamentary group, as the new local chairman. The position of local vice-president will in future be held by the parliamentary group leader Felix Walter. With Markus Stang, the local election campaign organizer takes over the position of treasurer. Michael John Bobrow completes the board as European representative. Eva-Maria Grimm-Rauschenberger and Paul Schröder were appointed as cash auditors.
“I would like to thank you very much for the trust and I am looking forward to working on the board of directors with this great team,” says Matthias Kemmerer, who is currently doing his doctorate in economic and social history. Kemmerer wants to focus on municipal finance, construction and democracy policies.
“Mainhausen is facing major investments in childcare and the new town hall. At the same time, according to the draft budget, personnel costs will increase by a good 50% by the mid-2020s. We will therefore do everything we can to ensure Council’s sound finances so that Council and taxpayers are not financially overwhelmed.”
The FDP also emphatically supports the new planned development area of Zellhausen-Süd: “We need an external development with a sense of proportion that alleviates the lack of living space and at the same time thinks together energy, transport and climate,” says Kemmerer.
After all, Kemmerer would like to anchor the FDP as a liberal center party: “Local politics is democratic politics: We have to solve problems, not describe them. And this ultimately always happens at the local level when the state and the administration are functioning, credible and stable. Only then will people have faith in our democracy.”
Felix Walter points out that the FDP was the third strongest party in Mainhausen in the last federal election. “We would therefore like to offer all interested citizens in Mainhausen even more opportunities to exchange ideas with us on liberal contents and the concerns of free democrats – of course also with a view to state and federal politics.”
