Nancy Faeser (born 13 July 1970) is a German lawyer and politician of the Social Democratic Party (SPD), serving as Federal Minister of the Interior and Community in Chancellor Olaf Scholz's cabinet since 2021. She served as a member of the State Parliament of Hesse from the 2003 elections until 2021.[1] In 2019, she became the party's leader in Hesse, succeeding Thorsten Schäfer-Gümbel.

Political career

Career in state politics

Faeser joined the SPD in 1988.[2]

In parliament, Faeser has served as a member of the Committee on Legal Affairs (2003–2009), the Committee on the Election of Judges (2003–2013), the Committee on Economic Affairs, Energy and Transport (2014–2018) and the Committee on Internal Affairs (since 2009).[3] From 2009, she was her parliamentary group's spokesperson on internal affairs. In 2019, she was elected the group's chairwoman.

Minister of the Interior, 2021–present

In the negotiations to form a so-called traffic light coalition of the SPD, the Green Party and the Free Democrats (FDP) following the 2021 German elections, Faeser was part of her party's delegation in the working group on migration and integration, co-chaired by Boris Pistorius, Luise Amtsberg and Joachim Stamp.[4]

After the coalition was successfully formed, on 6 December 2021, it was announced that Faeser would become the first female Interior Minister of Germany in the German government in the Scholz cabinet.[5] In her capacity as minister, Faeser also takes part in the meetings of the Standing Conference of Interior Ministers and Senators of the States (IMK).

Faeser was nominated by her party as delegate to the Federal Convention for the purpose of electing the President of Germany in 2022.[6]

Faeser has been married to lawyer Eyke Grüning since 2012.[9] The couple has a son and lives in Schwalbach am Taunus.[10]
