Bütten speaker Schmitt: SPD nominates mayoral candidates in Nieder-Olm!
An exciting election campaign is imminent in the Nieder-Olm municipality: Andreas Schmitt, known for his appearances as a speaker, has been nominated by the SPD as a candidate for mayor. This was announced during the SPD board meeting, as reported by tv-mittelrhein.de. Nina Klinkel, the deputy chairwoman of the SPD in the municipality, confirmed the nomination, even if the formal confirmation of the nomination meeting is still pending.
The mayoral election is scheduled for March 22, 2026, a date voters should mark on their calendars as it will take place at the same time as the state election. After more than 30 years in office, the incumbent mayor Ralph Spiegler has decided not to run for office again. From July he will take over the presidency of the German Association of Cities and Municipalities, leaving big shoes to fill in local politics.
An experienced candidate
Andreas Schmitt has been active in the political landscape of Nieder-Olm for decades and brings valuable experience with him. He also works in the Episcopal Ordinariate in Mainz. His fame as chairman of the meeting of “Mainz remains Mainz, as it sings and laughs” speaks for his connection to the region and the ability to communicate with people. Schmitt emphasized how important it is to him to have a clear stance and a clear voice in politics - qualities that he would like to bring into the coming election campaign.
Another SPD mayoral candidate is Stefan Heyde, who was elected in the Ludwig Eckes Hall on February 22, 2024. Heyde, who has been working as an everyday companion in Nieder-Olm since 2021, also brings political experience from his time in the Mainz-Bingen district council. In his speech before the nomination, he emphasized the importance of unity and team spirit within the SPD as well as his commitment to the citizens.
A strong team for the 2024 local elections
The SPD Nieder-Olm also presented its city council list, which offers a mix of experienced city councilors and new faces, according to chairwoman Sabine Kienel. Heyde emphasizes that the commitment to the citizens of the municipality is not just lip service, but the heart of her work. The official presentation of the election program is already in the starting blocks and will be announced shortly in order to provide the electorate with comprehensive information.
The coming months promise an exciting race for the votes of the citizens of Nieder-Olm. With Andreas Schmitt as a possible new start and Stefan Heyde, who wants to bring a breath of fresh air and experience into the matter, it will certainly never be boring. Stay tuned as there is still a lot of discussion and engagement to be expected here!
