Neumann worked as legislative assistant to Tom Koenigs (2013-2014) and as chief of staff to Omid Nouripour (2014-2016) in the German Bundestag.[3] From 2018 until 2019, she was an associate fellow at the German Council on Foreign Relations (DGAP).[citation needed]

Neumann has been a Member of the European Parliament since the 2019 European elections. She has since been serving on the Subcommittee on Human Rights and the Subcommittee on Security and Defence. In addition, she serves as substitute in the Committee on Foreign Affairs. In 2022, she joined the Committee of Inquiry to investigate the use of Pegasus and equivalent surveillance spyware.[4][5]

In addition to her committee assignments, Neumann chairs the Parliament's delegation for relations with the Arab Peninsula.[6] She is also a member of the European Parliament Intergroup on Anti-Racism and Diversity,[7] the European Parliament Intergroup on LGBT Rights[8] and the European Parliament Intergroup on Anti-Corruption.[9]

In the negotiations to form a so-called traffic light coalition of the Social Democratic Party (SPD), the Green Party and the Free Democratic Party (FDP) following the 2021 federal elections, Neumann was part of her party's delegation in the working group on foreign policy, defence, development cooperation and human rights, co-chaired by Heiko Maas, Omid Nouripour and Alexander Graf Lambsdorff.[10]

Political positions

In May 2021, Neumann joined a group of 39 mostly Green Party lawmakers from the European Parliament who in a letter urged the leaders of Germany, France and Italy not to support Arctic LNG 2, a $21 billion Russian Arctic liquefied natural gas (LNG) project, due to climate change concerns.[13]
