In the municipality of Rudersdorf, David Venus prefers to invest in the promotion of schoolchildren and has decided to forego billboard advertising.

It really is a "super election year" in Rudersdorf: a new mayor will be elected in the southern Burgenland municipality on September 8 before the national and provincial elections. As reported, the previous mayor withdrew due to a ban on entering the town. In the race to succeed him in office are SPÖ Deputy Mayor David Venus and Patrick Kainz from the ÖVP.

Baskets handed over for schools
To avoid any material battles, Venus has decided to dispense with poster advertising and invest in young people instead. Two new disc golf baskets were purchased for the primary and secondary schools and handed over together with local councillor Thomas König and local councillor Monika Ulreich. The collapsible baskets are intended to enhance sports lessons.

Wants to set an example
Venus wants to send out a clear signal with this campaign: "Instead of investing in short-lived election advertising, we are creating sustainable added value for the community." The baskets are intended to contribute to pupils' physical activity and well-being in the long term.
