Ansgar Guido Karl Johannes Heveling (born 3 July 1972) is a German lawyer and politician of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) who has been serving as a member of the Bundestag from the state of North Rhine-Westphalia since 2009.[1]

Early career

From 2005 until 2009, Heveling served as deputy chief of staff to North Rhine-Westphalia's State Minister of Finance Helmut Linssen in the government of Minister-President Jürgen Rüttgers.

Political career

Heveling first became a member of the Bundestag in the 2009 German federal election, representing Krefeld.[2] He is a member of the Committee on Legal Affairs and Consumer Protection;[3] the Committee on the Scrutiny of Elections, Immunity and the Rules of Procedure; and the Committee on the Election of Judges (Wahlausschuss), which is in charge of appointing judges to the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany. From 2009 until 2013, he was also a member of the Subcommittee on European Affairs. He serves as his parliamentary group's rapporteur on copyright and criminal law.[4]

In the negotiations to form a Grand Coalition of the Christian Democrats (CDU together with the Bavarian CSU) and the SPD following the 2013 federal elections, Heveling was part of the CDU/CSU delegation in the working group on cultural and media affairs, led by Michael Kretschmer and Klaus Wowereit.

From 2018, Heveling was part of a cross-party working group on a reform of Germany’s electoral system, chaired by Wolfgang Schäuble.[5] Since 2022, he has been a member of the Commission for the Reform of the Electoral Law and the Modernization of Parliamentary Work, co-chaired by Johannes Fechner and Nina Warken.[6]
