CDU, because...
... the Christian view of people characterises my thoughts and actions - and as a vegan (specialist) health and nursing professional, I have found my political home in the CDU.
Motivation - Why volunteer:
As a father, son of a single parent and professionally anchored in the social and healthcare sector, I am familiar with many realities of life. I want to use my commitment to have a positive influence - even if that sometimes means simply listening and being there with compassion.
It fulfils me to work for other people - and it is a real privilege for me to be able to do so many things that I find valuable. Whether professionally or as a volunteer, being part of something meaningful gives me a sense of purpose and direction.
Hobbies:
Riding a gravel bike, reading, learning, trying out new things
What is particularly important to me:
It is important to me to take responsibility in our society and thus be a role model - for my fellow human beings, especially for my children. I want to show that politics is lively and creative, can be fun and doesn't have to have anything dusty about it.
I experience for myself how challenging it is to reconcile family, career and political commitment. That's exactly why I want to show: It is possible - even if it's not always easy. Politics should become more open and flexible here. I would particularly like to encourage women to get involved. Because their perspectives are often lacking - not because they are uninterested, but because the framework conditions make it difficult. I want to be part of changing this.
I bring expertise from the social and healthcare sectors and know the challenges of young families from my own experience. I would like to use this knowledge to provide impetus in the district council and make the Rhine district of Neuss even more attractive for families and skilled workers.
What wish do you have for Kaarst?
I am currently getting to know Kaarst in all its facets - and I wish the people of Kaarst that the diversity and vibrancy of their city will be preserved.
