FDP nomination: Jürgen Speer fights for the mandate in Weilheim!

The FDP has selected a new candidate for the 2025 Bundestag election: Jürgen Speer, a 44-year-old farmer from Wildsteig, will compete in the Weilheim constituency for the liberals. This decision was made at the installation conference in Weilheim in the "Shooting site Da Franco" inn, where almost 45 members of the FDP district associations Weilheim-Schongau and Garmisch-Partenkirchen gathered.

Jürgen Speer was the only applicant and received 27 votes from the 28 voting members, which underlines his support within the party. The direct candidate is an experienced farmer and dairy farmer who took over the operation of his parents. In his introductory speech, Speer highlighted the importance of agriculture for the local economy and expressed its ideas about a social market economy.

Judith Haberkorn, the district chairman of Weilheim-Schongau, explained in her welcoming speech how important it was to work together in the upcoming election campaign, since this will probably become "intensive and emotional". Speer's choice is a signal that the base of the FDP is behind it. The new candidate clearly positioned itself against state subsidies and confirmed that "prosperity and should not be redistributed".

its express point of view is that the welfare state depends on the performance of the economy. He said: "The system of social security and the high lives in our country depend on the performance and profitability of the economy." Here he criticized the ideological redistribution fantasies, which in his view can lead to an extermination of money by the state

Compared to the last Bundestag election, in which the FDP candidate Karl Martin Sielmann received only 6.3 percent of the first votes, Speer could bring new wind into the electoral campaign with his clear positioning and support the liberals to increase their visibility in the constituency.

The election will take place on September 28, 2025 and it remains to be seen how Speer will design his election campaign and what response he can find in the voters. His views and backgrounds offer a lot of material for discussions and could be crucial for the outcome of the choice. Information on the election and the candidates are updated regularly to keep voters up to date.
