Katharina Schulze
Chairwoman of the Parliamentary Group Alliance 90/The Greens
Member of the Bavarian State Parliament since 2013. Feminist since forever. At the 2018 elections, while I was front-runner for the Greens, we received our historically best result of 17,6% of the votes. We now represent the second-biggest parliamentary group in the Bavarian Parliament. Since November 2019 I am also a member of the party executive committee on the federal level of Alliance 90/The Greens.
With my personal motto “just do it, don’t complain” in mind, I want to transform Bavaria into the first federal state with a gender balance in political offices and develop it into a state of ecological sustainability, digital opportunities and cosmopolitanism.
