Conni in the election campaign: CDU candidate gives children's book figure a voice!

The CDU in Hamm brings a breath of fresh air to the election campaign for the local elections on September 14, 2025, and the very unconventional way: Jochen Dornseifer, who was unanimously nominated as a candidate for mayor, uses the popular children's book figure Conni as support for his campaign. What is a clever move or a daring experiment will certainly be discussed in the next few weeks.

Dornseifer, who was in the district of Heessen from 2004 to 2009 and has a comprehensive political past, sees the integration of the lively resilients Conni as a modern means to address younger voters: inside. "Conni solves everyday problems and stands for the promotion of the children," he says, after the idea arose after a funny Conni meme at a shooting festival. The response has so far been mixed. The Carlsen-Verlag, which holds the rights to the figure, reacted to Dornseifers posts on Facebook and Instagram with the request for deletion and threatened legal steps. Dornseifer is unimpressed and plans instead to react humorously to deletion.

The nomination and the election campaign

Dornseifers' official nomination takes place on January 22, 2025, and the CDU Hamm has great expectations of its election campaign. He has a solid professional background when an authorized representative at Creditreform worked in Paderborn and was involved in his hometown of Ahlen for the Union and Sport. His hobby horses in the election campaign are the areas of business, health, transport and security.

Dornseifer plans to optimize the connection of the commercial areas and revitalize city marketing. It is also particularly important to him to improve medical care close to home and to strengthen the municipal regulatory service (KOD) in order to increase security in Hamm. These topics seem to be not only important for adults; You could also address young voters: inside that can be made aware of political issues through Connie's help.

Politics explained child -friendly

The concept of integrating children's literature into the election campaign is seamlessly involved in the discussion on how democracy and political processes can be explained in a child -friendly manner. For example, children from the age of five should use books such as "In the jungle is chosen" or "Democracy for Kids: This is how it works!" To this is suggested to think about the basic mechanisms of politics. These approaches could be an interesting aspect, especially in an election campaign in which younger generations are also to be addressed.

The variety of children's books that deal with the topics of democracy and elections proves the great potential that is in such initiatives. You could lay the foundation for an early understanding of democracy and political participation, and who knows, maybe you even inspire future voters: inside, to actively participate in political processes.

As we see, the use of Conni in the election campaign by Jochen Dornseifer is not only an innovative, but also a courageous step to reach a younger target group. It remains to be seen whether he will come to the town hall on September 14th, but the discussion about modern campaign techniques is already in full swing.

For everyone who is interested in the political future of Hamm, the voting on the ballot on the ballot on September 14 could prove to be decisive - even for the youngest citizens: inside who could pave the way into politics via Conni, Wittgenstein and other topics.
