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 (2018–2021) and the Committee on the Digital Agenda (2018–present).[2][3] In addition to her committee assignments, she is her parliamentary group's rapporteur on artificial intelligence.[4]

Political positions

In June 2017, Kemmer voted against Germany's introduction of same-sex marriage.[7]

For the 2021 national elections, Kemmer endorsed Markus Söder as the Christian Democrats' joint candidate to succeed Chancellor Angela Merkel.[8]

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.[9]

Kammer has been married to lawyer and fellow CDU politician Fabian Kemmer since 2016.[10]
