Marion Beck is running against old rivals in Leonberg for the mayoral election!

Marion Beck, who has been head of the Office for Economic Development and Culture in Herrenberg since December 2021, has announced that she will stand for election as mayor of Leonberg. She justifies her decision with the desire to make a constructive contribution to the future of the city. Beck is convinced that her experiences and ideas will be useful in the election campaign. The election will take place on September 28th after incumbent Martin Georg Cohn from the SPD declared in September 2024 that he would not run again. This brings a breath of fresh air into Leonberg's political landscape, which has been characterized by internal conflicts in recent years.

The focus is particularly on the tensions between Cohn and the First Mayor Josefa von Hohenzollern. The latter is currently not allowed to work in her offices due to compulsory vacation, but has also announced her candidacy for the mayoral election. In an increasingly challenging environment, other applicants are also competing. On Friday, Tobias Degode (38), who is running for the CDU and the Free Voters, and Benjamin Schulz (41), a self-employed influencer manager, officially declared their intention to run.

Competition for the post of mayor

With the upcoming elections, the signs point to an interesting head-to-head race. As a Düsseldorfer, Tobias Degode brings fresh perspectives and tries to mobilize both CDU and Free Voters voters. Josefa von Hohenzollern, on the other hand, can look back on her political career to date as First Mayor, even if she cannot be active at the moment. Her candidacy could still find support among the electorate, especially since she knows the challenges of the last few years as an insider.

The political situation in Leonberg remains tense, which is clearly reflected in the upcoming election. The possibility of a change in leadership could represent an opportunity for many citizens to break new ground. While voters must decide which positions and people are best suited to lead the city into a positive future, there is already plenty of room for political discussion and strategy.

Overall, the upcoming mayoral election in Leonberg shows how important it is for citizens to actively participate in the political process and vote informedly. The various candidates and their visions will be crucial to how the city develops in the coming years. Information about the candidates and their political goals is always required in order to make an informed voting decision.
