Tomaschko fights for more citizen service: less bureaucracy, more future!
Peter Tomaschko, CSU candidate for the 2026 district election, is planning comprehensive reforms to improve bureaucracy and services in the Aichach-Friedberg district.
Tomaschko fights for more citizen service: less bureaucracy, more future!
Bureaucracy is probably the annoying issue that many people experience when contacting authorities. This topic is also the main concern of Peter Tomaschko, the CSU representative and current candidate for district administrator in Wittelsbacher Land. In his opinion, the efficiency and proximity of the administration to the citizens is a promising topic that will play an enormously important role in the local elections in 2026. As [Augsburger Allgemeine](https://www.augsburger- Allgemeine.de/friedberg/csu-gesetzer-und-landratswandel-peter-tomaschko-ford-mehr-behoerden-service-110702367) reports, Tomaschko is planning a service offensive that includes, among other things, the introduction of a digital appointment framework and extended opening hours for the authorities.
But it's not just the footballers among the district administrator candidates who are struggling with their own image; The administration in Germany also has some areas where there are problems. Tomaschko intends to play an active role in reducing bureaucracy. He is a member of the commission in the state parliament that deals exclusively with this issue. A survey shows that citizens often experience inefficient administrative processes in comparison to fast online services - a point that Digital Minister Benjamin Grimm in Brandenburg has also strongly criticized (RBB 24).
Optimization of processes
The MP has some exciting proposals that aim to free up more resources for citizen services by simplifying administrative processes. This includes the plan to create a “fully open district office” where citizens can spontaneously clarify questions. This could well be a significant step forward in the relationship between authorities and citizens. Because dissatisfaction in society, which also strengthens extremist forces, is a serious problem that should be addressed with an optimized service.
Another step that appears in Tomaschko's plans is the use of AI-based chatbots that will provide information around the clock. This idea could significantly expand existing online services and provide more transparency. There is still a lot of room for improvement in the modernization and digitalization efforts of state institutions, reflects the final report of a group of experts, which was prepared on behalf of Federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier. According to Tagesschau, the recommendations are all aimed at improving trust between the state and citizens.
Tackle a broad range of topics
Tomaschko also makes it clear that he doesn't just want to concentrate on digitalization; Supporting family businesses, improving disaster control, and maintaining both clinic locations are also very important. In addition, short-term care offerings should be expanded.
When asked how he assesses his chances in the district election, Tomaschko is optimistic, but at the same time warns that this election will not be a sure-fire success. He points out that his predecessor, Klaus Metzger, was only narrowly elected twelve years ago and emphasizes that dialogue with citizens is essential. In any case, he has already received support from the party leadership and Prime Minister Markus Söder.
His plans reflect a thoughtful approach to dismantling the core elements of bureaucracy and regaining the trust of the population. At a time when citizens are often confronted with inefficient processes, Tomaschko could be the breath of fresh air that the administration urgently needs.
