Photo: Patrick Liste. I was born in Dieburg in 1964 and grew up in Eppertshausen. Today I live in Messel with my wife, and we have two grown children. In my free time, I enjoy traveling and singing in a choir. After graduating from high school and completing a commercial apprenticeship, I worked as an authorized signatory, managing director, and managing partner. In 2010, I became an honorary commercial judge at the Darmstadt Regional Court and later an honorary judge at the Darmstadt Labor Court (2018-2023). With over 30 years of experience in local politics, I have acquired the necessary skills for my work in the Bundestag. My goal is to give people a future perspective. Five questions for Andreas Larem: How would you like to strengthen the educational landscape at the federal level, and how can schools and educational institutions in your constituency specifically benefit from this? To ensure every child has the best possible start in life, we must focus on expanding childcare places, language support, and a joint initiative between the federal and state governments to attract skilled workers. We will provide better support for educational institutions in socially disadvantaged regions. The money must flow where it is most needed. This is precisely what the \"Startchancen\" (Starting Opportunities) program makes possible \u2013 including in my constituency. Since this year, the Erich K\u00e4stner Elementary School, the Heinrich Heine School, and the Wilhelm Leuschner School have been able to invest specifically in learning-enhancing equipment. Now, this program must be extended to include daycare centers. What measures do you support at the federal level to better manage migration, and how do you intend to ensure that these are implemented in a socially responsible manner in your constituency? Diversity is an enrichment. We will continue to grant protection to those entitled to asylum and support their integration. For people who simply want to work in Germany, we want to create more legal pathways to entry and faster qualification recognition through the further development of the Skilled Immigration Act. At the same time, deportations must be carried out consistently when the right to remain has been denied. By providing stronger support to immigration authorities and accelerating asylum procedures to six months, we will relieve the burden on municipalities. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are considered the backbone of the German economy. What federal policy measures do you plan to strengthen SMEs, and how can you provide targeted support to companies in your region? Improvements in the environment for industry and businesses are urgently needed. By capping electricity grid fees and providing tax relief for climate-friendly technologies, we will secure jobs, provide planning certainty, and strengthen German competitiveness. Companies can improve their attractiveness to skilled workers by increasing pension levels and expanding unemployment insurance benefits. How do you intend to advance a sustainable energy transition nationwide, and how can local initiatives and projects in your constituency receive greater support? The opportunities of the energy transition must be made available to society as quickly as possible. Our goal is a complete supply of renewable energies and thus permanently low energy prices for everyone. In addition to expanding decentralized energy supply and providing targeted support, it is essential to support states and municipalities in meeting their investment needs. This will be made possible by reforming the debt brake and establishing a Germany Fund to mobilize public and private capital. What federal policy priorities do you set to advance infrastructure development in your constituency, and how can you ensure that your region's interests are heard in Berlin? Education, digitalization, climate protection \u2013 securing a modern, sustainable infrastructure requires money. We must create the necessary framework for this. The rigid rules of the debt brake make future investments impossible. They pose a risk to the prosperity of current and future generations. By reforming the debt brake, we will open up more borrowing options for the states and municipalities. Debt relief for legacy municipalities and revenues from inheritance and wealth taxes will ensure their financial viability. Long-term support requires financing agreements between the different levels of government and loans from the Germany Fund. Summary of the election program for the 2025 election: Since 2021, I have represented the citizens of Darmstadt and Darmstadt-Dieburg in the Bundestag. In the February election, I ask for your continued trust so that I can continue to advocate for their interests. My goal is to achieve the best for people \u2013 with policies that consider everyone and bring about positive change. The issues are diverse: better childcare places, equal opportunities, support for families, affordable housing, adequate pensions, climate protection, peace, and the fight against right-wing extremism. Despite the challenges, I believe that with courage, the right answers, and solidarity, we can achieve a great deal. I am running for office with experience, competence, and a clear plan.
