Christine Keller follows Hans Jörg Villiger in Cham's finance commission!

In Cham, a municipality in the canton of Zug, there will soon be a change in the finance commission: Hans Jörg Villiger, who served in this important position for over a decade, will resign on June 30, 2025. Villiger has made a name for himself in his role, including as vice president, and is valued for his community involvement. The reason for his resignation are new political challenges in the party leadership of the SVP Canton of Zug and in the expanded State Economic Commission, as bzbasel.ch reports.

SVP Cham has already thanked Villiger for his many years of commitment and wishes him much success in his new tasks. With Villiger's resignation, Christine Keller will succeed him. She was elected by the local council on May 27, 2025 and will serve on the Finance Commission until the end of 2026. SVP Cham is very satisfied with Keller's qualifications and appreciates her willingness to get involved in this commission.

Current developments in the SVP Cham

In addition to this personnel change, SVP Cham has a few other projects in the pipeline. These include the submission of a motion for “Assisted Living 2025” and criticism of the added value initiative, which the party sees as a “regulatory brake block”. The SVP has also called for contact, including for non-members, which underlines the party's openness and proximity to the citizens. President Marc Plüss is available as a contact person and can be contacted at m.d.pluess@bluewin.ch, as can be found on the SVP Cham website svp-zug.ch.

2025 will be a challenging year for SVP Cham, something the party has already taken into account. Topics such as support for affordable housing, the promotion of sporting infrastructure and the development of a car-free center are just some of the points currently on the table. A focus is also on environmentally friendly technologies and the promotion of personal responsibility in social and cultural matters.

Everyday federal life in Switzerland

The decision about Villiger's successor is not made entirely in isolation, as it is in the context of Switzerland's federal system. The Swiss Confederation, which has existed since 1948, is characterized by a clear division of power between the federal government, cantons and municipalities. This means that both the cantons and the municipalities have a lot of leeway to carry out their tasks effectively, which affects, for example, decision-making in the municipality of Cham. The different administrative levels guarantee that regional peculiarities are preserved while at the same time appearing as a unit learn.opengeoedu.de.

The coming months will show how Christine Keller will master her new role in the Finance Commission. The municipality of Cham remains optimistic that the change will not only go smoothly, but will also provide new impetus for future financial policy.
