The Bundestag will be re-elected in one month. The CDU in the Kleve district hopes that the Christian Democrats can provide the government and the Federal Chancellor. But she is already thinking ahead into the future. There are state elections on May 15, 2022. Three new applicants for the constituency of Kleve I have been on the way for weeks to introduce themselves to the individual communities. The previous candidate Margret Voßeler-Deppe is no longer running. The constituency includes Rheurdt, Geldern, Issum, Kalkar, Kerken, Kevelaer, Straelen, Uedem, Wachtendonk and Weeze. On Wednesday evening Monika Lemmen, Matthias Wirth and Stephan Wolters were guests of the Rheurdter CDU in the hall of the restaurant “Zur Post” and promoted their candidacy.

Robert Peerenboom, chairman of the CDU community association Rheurdt-Schaephuysen, was pleased about the visit, at which Monika Lemmen was the first to introduce herself. The 52-year-old lives in Straelen, where she grew up in a horticultural business, is an administrative clerk at the Diakonie’s debt counseling service and has two adult sons. She is on the city council and holds the office of deputy mayor. She came to politics because she is involved in the Catholic Church and in various associations and “always wanted to achieve and achieve something with people”.
