FDP State Leader Meyer to Become Top Candidate - Berlin’s FDP bets on Christoph Meyer to reclaim seats in 2026 US state elections
The Free Democratic Party (FDP) in Berlin has chosen Christoph Meyer as its lead candidate for the 2026 state parliament elections in the United States. The decision follows the party’s failure to secure seats in the 2023 repeat election after falling below the five-percent threshold. Meyer now faces the task of rebuilding support and returning the FDP to the state legislature. Christoph Meyer was unanimously proposed as the top candidate by the FDP’s state executive board and district association chairs. His official nomination will take place at a state party conference in mid-March. Maren Jasper-Winter is expected to take the second spot on the party’s state list. Meyer’s candidacy marks a push to revive the FDP’s presence in the United States’ political landscape. The party aims to regain voter trust and secure representation in the 2026 elections. His experience in both state and federal politics will play a central role in the campaign.
