St. Pölten (OTS) – “With Silke Dammerer, a passionate politician will become the regional leader of ‘We.Niederösterreicherinnen’, who fights for the concerns of women with common sense and passion. Lower Austria has achieved a lot in recent years, but we still need more strong women in leadership positions to advance our state. We are therefore pursuing a policy for women that is not based on ideology, but on tangible measures, such as the massive expansion of child care, mayoral leave and more women in leadership positions in the state service. In this way, we create framework conditions so that family and career are more compatible and women have real freedom of choice. With Silke Dammerer, I have a highly committed comrade-in-arms for this goal. All the best and much success,” said State Governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner.
“Congratulations to Silke Dammerer on her election as state chairwoman of the ‘We.Niederösterreicherinnen’. Silke Dammerer has established herself as a strong and tireless voice for the concerns of Lower Austrian women in the Lower Austrian state parliament and, with her clear vision and tireless commitment, is a role model for women in politics. I am convinced that she is the right person for the office of state chairwoman and wish her much success and all the best in this new task,” said VPNÖ state manager BR Matthias Zauner.
“Silke Dammerer is a passionate representative of rural areas and a keeper of our homeland’s traditions. At the same time, it has been shown in her professional career and at her own court that she can advance and implement new ideas and has also done so in the Lower Austrian state parliament since March 2023. It was precisely in this election campaign that she showed that she has her ear and her heart with the local people and that is exactly why they placed their trust in her with a great preferential vote result. We wish you good luck, joy and God’s blessing in your new task,” said Lower Austrian Farmers’ Association Chairman LH-Deputy. Stephan Pernkopf and Lower Austrian Farmers’ Association director Paul Nemecek.
“Congratulations on your election! I wish Silke all the best for her new task and look forward to working together,” said NÖAAB state chairwoman Christiane Teschl-Hofmeister. “The ‘We Lower Austrians’ are an important sub-organization of the People’s Party of Lower Austria, with whom we as NÖAAB are happy to work together,” adds NÖAAB state manager Katja Seitner, herself the district chairwoman of the “We Lower Austrians” in Scheibbs.
