The package of documents was presented to the regional organizational committee by Dmitry Filipenko, the head of the Nizhny Novgorod regional executive committee of the "United Russia" party. The candidate applied for preliminary voting in territorial group 4 (Moscow District). "Politics is not promises, but daily work. I am running for election to show by my example: results are possible if you act honestly, professionally, and in the interests of the people. I consider my main task to ensure that people's requests become laws, and funds translate into specific roads, schools, and clinics. My goal is to translate accumulated experience into real, measurable achievements," he stated. Dmitry Filipenko was born in 1990 in the settlement of Surovatikha in the Dalnekonstantinovsky District.
