The SPD lost 8.6% of the vote in this election, and the CDU became the strongest force in Rüsselsheim. Ms. Meixner-Römer ran for the SPD in the mayoral election on September 4, 2011.

Parliamentary work

In the state elections in Hesse in 1999 Meixner-Romans deputy was the member of parliament Gerold Reichenbach for the constituency 47 Gross-Gerau I . After Reichenbach was elected to the Bundestag and resigned from the Landtag, she was a member of the Hessian Landtag from October 2002 to March 2003. In the state elections in Hesse in 2003 , her candidacy for the state parliament failed because she was defeated by the SPD Wolfgang Schneider when the candidates were drawn up. He then lost the direct mandate that had been secure for the SPD for decades to the CDU candidate Roger Lenhart . In the state elections in Hesse in 2008 on January 27, 2008, she was able to win back the mandate from Lenhart, who thus lost his state parliament mandate because he was not adequately covered on the CDU state list. In the state elections in Hesse in 2009 , it was again Meixner-Römer who lost the constituency to the then 28-year-old CDU candidate Patrick Burghardt and left the state parliament.
