In a letter to the CDU board, the 36-year-old teacher emphasizes that he has already demonstrated his commitment in the 2019 and 2024 local elections as well as in his 2021 state election. "The Neubrandenburgers give me their trust," said Bromberger, who can come up with a strong first votes in the last election.

The CDU was able to take second place behind the AfD with 17.93 percent in the local elections in summer 2024, but has formed the strongest fraction in the city council by joining two other councilors. Bromberger emphasizes that his ability to build bridges even on difficult topics would be crucial for the role of the mayor. "To make future -oriented decisions together with the city council is my goal," he explains.
