Brandenburg Landrat Elections Testcase For SPD

PRENZLAU, GERMANY - APRIL 03: Two women walk past election campaign billboards for the German Social Democrats (SPD) and the German Christian Democrats (CDU) for district administartive (Landrat) elections in Brandenburg state on April 3, 2018 in Prenzlau, Germany. While the elections only affect six of the 14 administrative districts in one of Germany's mid-sized states, the elections will nevertheless be an indicator of whether the new national leadership of the SPD can swing voter preference their way following last year's disastrous national elections and declining support in polls for the party since then.
