Political career[]

Following the death of Andreas Schockenhoff, Kemmer took his parliamentary seat in December 2014.[1] She was a member of the Committee on European Affairs before moving to the Committee on Education, Research and Technology Assessment and the Digital Agenda Committee as well as the Committee on the Digital Agenda in 2018.[2][3]

Other activities[]

Political positions[]

In June 2017, Kemmer voted against Germany's introduction of same-sex marriage.[5]

For the 2021 national elections, Kemmer endorsed Markus Söder as the Christian Democrats' joint candidate to succeed Chancellor Angela Merkel.[6]

Controversy[]

Amid the COVID-19 pandemic in Germany in 2020, Kemmer was one of three members of her parliamentary group – alongside Wolfgang Stefinger and Christoph Ploß – who became the subject of media scrutiny after they had accepted an invitation to embark on a three-day short trip to Oman; Oman's embassy covered their travel expenses of 5,466 euros each.[7]
