Regensburg District's SPD Party: Silvia Gross is a contender for the position
In a significant development for the local political landscape of Regensburg-Land, the Social Democratic Party (SPD) has announced Silvia Gross as their candidate for the Landrat position in the upcoming election, scheduled for March 8, 2026.
The nominating convention, held in Mariaort on Saturday, saw Gross being elected as the Landratskandidatin with an impressive 89.74% of the delegates' votes. The party's county delegates were present at the event, which was also announced on the SPD Regensburg-Land's Facebook page.
Gross, a prominent figure in local politics, has announced her intention to challenge the incumbent Landrätin, Tanja Schweiger (FW), who has been holding the position since 2014. Schweiger, a well-known figure in the Regensburg district, has not yet announced whether she will seek re-election.
Meanwhile, Patrick Grossmann, a state parliamentarian and former Sinzinger mayor, is running for the Landrat position for the CSU. The CSU, like the SPD, is one of the major parties expected to field candidates in the local elections.
As the election date approaches, the campaign teams for both Gross and Grossmann are expected to ramp up their activities. The campaign team for Gross will meet next week to discuss their strategy for the election.
Local elections in Bavaria typically feature candidates from major parties such as the CSU, SPD, Alliance 90/The Greens, and Free Voters. However, official candidate lists and announcements are usually published closer to the election date by local election authorities or party organizations.
