Overview
- Six contenders, including incumbent Klaus Heilinglechner, fielded questions before roughly 500 residents at the Loisachhalle.
- A clear split emerged over the S‑Bahn extension to Geretsried, with FDP candidate Patrick Lechner opposing the project as others defended it.
- SPD candidate Renato Wittstadt refused to categorically rule out working with individual AfD council members, prompting boos from the audience.
- Lechner pledged 1,000 new jobs in six years and a start‑up push, a goal CSU’s Günther Eibl challenged as unrealistic given limited space and infrastructure.
