SPD Salzgitter starts election campaign: Tobias Bey wants to become mayor!
The anticipation of the 2026 local elections is now noticeable in Salzgitter: The SPD is starting its election campaign, and with the fresh face of Tobias Bey, who was presented as a candidate for the office of mayor. A kick-off event took place in the Kulturscheune last weekend. Bey, only 36 years old, brings a new perspective to the city's political landscape with his youth and a breath of fresh ideas.
It is no secret that the SPD has lost the mayor's position to the CDU and Frank Klingebiel since 2006. Klingebiel has steered the city's fortunes in recent years and could run again in 2026. It remains to be seen whether he will seek the mandate again. The SPD, on the other hand, has big plans and wants to come back strong in order to become the strongest force in the council and also take over the mayor's office.
A committed candidate
Tobias Bey, who was elected chairman of the SPD Salzgitter sub-district, values his deep roots in the city. As an active member of various clubs, he is well connected and well known in the community. He himself says it is time to “stop the stagnation in the city” and he intends to develop a clear vision for the city’s future. His goal is to create social democratic politics for everyone - especially for workers, which is of great importance in Salzgitter.
One of Bey's main concerns is the integration process and social cohesion in Salzgitter. These are issues that will also play a central role in the upcoming election. He has clear ideas about how to revitalize the city and involve citizens to better address their needs.
Coming challenges
