Beat Tinner (born June 25, 1971 ; resident in Wartau and Sennwald -Frümsen) is a Swiss politician ( FDP ). He has been the municipality president of Wartau since 1997 and has represented the Werdenberg constituency in the cantonal council of the canton of St. Gallen since 2000 , among other things as parliamentary group president. In April 2020 he was elected to the St. Gallen government.

Life and commitment

Beat Tinner, son of a farmer, completed a commercial apprenticeship at the Swiss Bank Association from 1988 to 1991 , followed by a two-year language stay in Villars-sur-Ollon with the same employer. From 1994 to 1997 he attended the higher business and administration school in St. Gallen, which he left without a degree. After entering politics with the young liberals, he was elected (full-time) President of the Wartau community in 1997 at the age of 26. He mainly deals with economic, traffic, nature, environmental protection and energy policy as well as spatial planning and e-government.

From 2004 to 2016, Tinner was President of the Association of St. Gallen Mayor Presidents (VSGP). He is a member of the board of directors of Säntis Energie AG and abraxas Informatik AG. His other offices include chairing the public transport interest group in Eastern Switzerland. Tinner is a member of the steering committee of eGovernment Switzerland .

Tinner ran unsuccessfully for the National Council in 2019. He was nominated by the FDP Canton of St. Gallen for the government council election on March 8, 2020. He prevailed in a nomination process with 124 to 77 votes against Christine Bolt. On March 8, Tinner reached seventh place in the first round of the government council elections with 47,430 votes, but thus missed a seat on the government council. In the second ballot on April 19, 2020, Tinner also ran Laura Bucher ( SP ) and Michael Götte ( SVP ). With 56,028 votes, Tinner achieved the best result of the three candidates and was elected to the St.Gallen government. The FDP thus continues to hold two seats in the government.

Tinnner is married.

Tinner's grandfather Christian Eggenberger (1894–1967) was politically active.
