CSU envisions Bertl for the forthcoming race

In a unanimous decision by the CSU district committee, Dr. Johann Bertl, a seasoned politician and administrator with a deep-rooted connection to the district, has been proposed as the candidate for the Landrat position in Weilheim-Schongau.

Born in Peißenberg in 1978, Dr. Bertl studied Bavarian history, philosophy, and political science at LMU Munich, where he later earned his Ph.D. in philosophy in 2011. His academic and professional journey led him to work for the Hanns Seidel Foundation, serve as the federal election district manager of the CSU, and hold various positions in the Bavarian State Ministry of the Interior for Construction and Transport. Since 2017, he has been the chief of staff in Alexander Dobrindt's parliamentary office.

Dr. Bertl's decision to run for the Landrat position comes as no surprise, given the months of speculation about his potential involvement in the local elections. District Chairman Alexander Dobrindt praised Bertl as 'the perfect choice because he brings not only a high level of expertise but is also deeply rooted in both regions of the district.'

In his campaign, Dr. Bertl has outlined several key priorities. He aims to secure the location of the emergency call center, establish an economic development corporation in the district, and focus on vocational training and schools. Ensuring stable healthcare is another crucial goal, with the continued high subsidy needs for the Weilheim-Schongau hospital GmbH being a pressing concern.

Moreover, Dr. Bertl plans to strengthen the cohesion and cooperation between the two regions of Weilheim and Schongau. He wants to create and use room for maneuver under the known financial framework of the district, which includes high debt, high district tax, and continued high subsidy needs.

The final decision will be made at the nominating convention next weekend. If elected, Dr. Johann Bertl will defend the Landrat position in Weilheim for the CSU, aiming to serve the district with solid finances, moderate debt, and a strong commitment to the community.

Dr. Bertl is married and has three children. Further details about his professional experience prior to 2017 are not available in the provided search results.
