Isabel Mackensen-Geis (born 29 September 1986 as Isabel Mackensen) is a German politician of the Social Democratic Party (SPD) and member of the Bundestag, the German parliament, since 2019.

Early life and education

Mackensen-Geis was born in Schwetzingen and grew up in Niederkirchen bei Deidesheim (where she still has her home).[1] After passing her Abitur in 2006 at the Kurfürst-Ruprecht-Gymnasium (secondary school) in Neustadt an der Weinstraße, she studied political science and history at the University of Trier, graduating with an MA in 2012.[2]

Political career

Mackensen-Geis became an SPD member in 2009[2] and was chair of the Palatinate regional section of the Young Socialists in the SPD from 2013 to 2017.[3] In 2019, she was elected a member of the district council of Bad Dürkheim.[4]

In the 2017 German federal election, Mackensen was the SPD candidate for the Neustadt – Speyer district and came second with 25.3% of the vote.[5] Mackensen became a Bundestag member via her party list after Katarina Barley, having been elected to the European Parliament, resigned her seat in the German parliament.[1] She served on the Committee on Food and Agriculture and was re-elected via the SPD-list in the 2021 German federal election.

Within her parliamentary group, Mackensen-Geis belongs to the Parliamentary Left, a left-wing movement.[6]

In the negotiations to form a so-called traffic light coalition of the SPD, the Green Party and the Free Democratic Party (FDP) following the 2021 federal elections, Mackensen-Geis was part of her party's delegation in the working group on environmental policy, co-chaired by Rita Schwarzelühr-Sutter, Steffi Lemke and Stefan Birkner.[7]
