It's a new era for the CDU Rhineland-Palatinate as Johannes Steiniger takes over the reins from his predecessor, Patrick Schnieder. At just 37 years old, Steiniger, who also serves as General Secretary of the CDU Rhineland-Palatinate, will now act as a powerful bridge between state politics and the federal government[1].
In a turn of events, Patrick Schnieder's brother, Gordon Schnieder, has moved on to bigger roles - taking a seat in the new federal government as the Federal Transport Minister. The CDU state group from Rhineland-Palatinate boasts a total of eleven members, with Steiniger joining their ranks.
