Ronja Kemmer (née Schmitt, born 3 May 1989) is a German politician of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) who served as a member of the Bundestag from the state of Baden-Württemberg from 2014 to 2026.
Political career
Member of the German Parliament, 2014–2026
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 (2018–2025).[2][3] On the Committee on the Digital Agenda, she was her parliamentary group's rapporteur on artificial intelligence.[4]
In the negotiations to form a Grand Coalition under the leadership of Friedrich Merz's Christian Democrats (CDU together with the Bavarian CSU) and the Social Democratic Party (SPD) following the 2025 German elections, Kemmer was part of the CDU/CSU delegation in the working group on digital policy, led by Manuel Hagel, Reinhard Brandt and Armand Zorn.[5]
From 2025 to 2026, Kemmer served as deputy chair of the CDU/CSU parliamentary group, under the leadership of chairman Jens Spahn. In this capacity, she oversaw the group's legislative activity on research, digitization and state modernization.[6]
Career in state government
In the negotiations to form a coalition government under the leadership of Cem Özdemir following the 2026 state elections in Baden-Württemberg, Kemmer co-chaired the working group on digitization, alongside Lena Schwelling.[7] She subsequently was appointed the incoming state government's chief information officer (CIO), serving under State Minister of the Interior Manuel Hagel.[8]
Other activities
Political positions
In June 2017, Kemmer voted against Germany's introduction of same-sex marriage.[11]
For the 2021 national elections, Kemmer endorsed Markus Söder as the Christian Democrats' joint candidate to succeed Chancellor Angela Merkel.[12]
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.[13]
Personal life
Kammer has been married to lawyer and fellow CDU politician Fabian Kemmer since 2016.[14] The couple has a daughter; their first daughter died at the age of four in 2025.[15]
