In three weeks, on September 26th, a new Federal Chancellor will be elected.
The parties are now clearly switching to election campaign mode.
CSU
"We cover everything, information stands, posters, flyers," says Florian Sperl, Secretary of the District Executive. Due to the corona, the main focus of the party - the top candidate in the constituency is Alexander Radwan from Rottach-Egern - is on social networks. “The groundbreaking ceremony for the Tölzer Nordspange was a highlight in this respect, and we noticed that it attracted attention.” At the analogue events, attempts are made to do justice to the appearances in the district - it includes the districts of Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen and Miesbach distribute, namely 50:50. On his CYCLING TOUR 2021, the candidate seeks contact with his voters and talks to them about their worries, needs and expectations. As for the posters, they are currently being put up. In the middle of the Söder-Land, Armin Laschet will of course also be seen,for example already in Endlhausen. Sperl: "We support Armin Laschet, just like Markus Söder does." In addition, the CSU, as a ruling party, has the advantage of being able to present ministers on site. The latest news: The Bavarian Agriculture Minister Michaela Kaniber will also campaign for the success of the Union in the district, with an appearance on September 13 in Egling. "We will definitely have a high density of events," said Sperl.with a performance on September 13th in Egling.

SPD
Thanks to the current polls from Chancellor candidate Olaf Scholz, the SPD - direct candidate is Hannes Gräbner from Holzkirchen - is known to smell the morning air. Precisely because of this, the election campaign for district chairman Klaus Barthel from Kochel am See is a “difficult balancing act”. He says: "We definitely do not want to be accused of being super spreaders." That is why the SPD has also outsourced its election campaign to social media, which of course does not mean that there are no posters and information stands. It is certain that the head of the Bayern SPD, Florian von Brunn, will make a tour of the district, with a focus on the Miesbach area. On September 18, he will be a guest in Icking, where he worked for a long time in the local club. For Barthel, who himself was a member of the Bundestag for 24 years, the great unknown is the postal vote,which is becoming more and more important. "I suspect that many have already made up their minds."
The green
The Greens are now also starting the “hot phase”. According to Jovana von Beckerath, spokeswoman for the district association, this means: “Doorstep election campaigns, information stands, events and other campaigns with which we can be seen in the district.” The Greens - their direct candidate is Karl Bär from Holzkirchen - have won several new members in recent months , "We can tackle this election campaign with the necessary strength". The fight for citizens is concentrated in the district on the cities of Wolfratshausen, Bad Tölz and Geretsried, but the smaller local associations such as Eurasburg or Münsing are also involved. Von Beckerath points out that a few months ago it was by no means foreseeable that it would be possible to talk to the citizen in person. “We initially designed all events digitally or hybrid.“The greater the relief. The Greens have set out to make the connection between federal politics and life tangible right on our doorstep, especially when it comes to environmental and socio-political issues. In September, the district association expects, among others, the former party chairman Claudia Roth and the deputy federal chairwoman Jamila Schäfer in the district. The exact dates are still to be communicated.The exact dates are still to be communicated.The exact dates are still to be communicated.
Free voters
The free voters in the district would have liked to present their top candidate Hubert Aiwanger. "But our familiar faces are so traveling all over Germany that we couldn't get an appointment," explains Konrad Specker, chairman of the district association. Whereby he attaches great importance to the observation that there are no “party greats” among the Free Voters: “We are all in the service of the citizen and not in the service of a party.” Also the Free Voters, who especially in Bavaria have many mayors and district administrators According to Specker, they are “completely busy posting posters, setting up banners and distributing flyers.” On September 13th, direct candidate Christian Kaul from Bad Heilbrunn in Geretsried will talk to the citizens. Specker is confident that the entry into the Bundestag will finally succeed."The mantra-like promises of the parties previously represented in the Bundestag can no longer be expected of the citizen." District Administrator Josef Niedermaier has announced that he will not be available for the election campaign of the Free Voters. He is skeptical of the federal political ambitions.
FDP
The Liberals - the direct candidate is Beatrice Westerling from Holzkirchen - hope that things will start slowly now. The local FDP has already done a lot to be successful on September 26th. District chairman Simon Roloff from Bichl recalls, for example, the visit by federal chairman Christian Lindner to Tegernsee some time ago. And for a few weeks now, the Liberals have also been represented with information stands. “That's important, you don't pick everyone up online.” In Wolfratshausen, the FDP is always represented on Saturdays until the election at Schwankl-Eck from 10 am, on Marktstrasse in Bad Tölz on September 4th and on Karl-Lederer-Platz in Geretsried on September 11th and 18th from 9 a.m. The Young Liberals (JuLis) are primarily responsible for the online election campaign. It is important to mobilize first-time voters. And it is already being glued diligently,around 200 posters in the Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen district, about the same number in the Miesbach district. Roloff is particularly looking forward to the “Walk & Talk” with Béatrice Vesterling and Albert Duin, Member of the State Parliament, on September 12th at Reutberg Monastery. “It is really time that things really got going,” he says.
The left
Andreas Wagner from Geretsried no longer ran for the left in the Bundestag.
Now his colleague, Erich Utz, is applying for the direct mandate for the Bundestag constituency 223 Bad Tölz-Wolfratshausen-Miesbach.
In recent weeks he has drawn attention to himself and central issues of the left through several campaigns, such as an “open-air monopoly” in Bad Tölz, Wolfratshausen and Geretsried.
This is how the now horrific rental costs should be illustrated.
In addition, Utz will seek a conversation with the citizens, for example this Friday, September 3, in the Marktstrasse in Bad Tölz.
At the weekly markets in Geretsried in Wolfratshausen, voters were already able to ask him about his political goals.
"I hope that I will be able to visit every weekly market in the constituency once."
AfD
The AfD has made a mishap: your direct candidate, Axel Zamzow from Gröbenzell, did not sign the declaration of consent when the documents were submitted.
So he cannot run for election.
Election campaign is still going on.
As announced by the district executive, an information stand will be set up at Schwankleck in Wolfratshausen on Saturday, September 4th.
From 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., MP Andreas Winhart, member of the Committee for Health and Care, is available for questions about the corona policy, but also about maintaining the Wolfratshausen district clinic.
