Ronja Kemmer (née Schmitt, born 3 May 1989) is a German politician of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) who has been serving as a member of the Bundestag from the state of Baden-Württemberg since 2014.

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]

In addition to her committee assignments, Kemmer is part of the German-Italian Parliamentary Friendship Group and the German-Ukrainian Parliamentary Friendship Group.

Other activities

  • Federal Agency for Disruptive Innovation (SPRIN-D), Member of the Supervisory Board (since 2020)[4]

Political positions

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

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.[6]
