Member of the German Parliament, 2009–present
Gebhart first became a member of the Bundestag in the 2009 German federal election.[2] From 2009 until 2017, he served on the Committee on the Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety.
From 2018 to 2021, Gebhart was (alongside Sabine Weiss) one of two Parliamentary State Secretaries for Health.
In addition to his committee assignments, Gebhart is a member of the German-British Parliamentary Friendship Group and the German-French Parliamentary Friendship Group. He has been a member of the German delegation to the Franco-German Parliamentary Assembly since 2022.[3]
Political positions
In June 2017, Gebhart voted against his parliamentary group’s majority and in favor of Germany’s introduction of same-sex marriage.[4]
In 2019, Gebhardt joined 14 members of his parliamentary group who, in an open letter, called for the party to rally around Angela Merkel and party chairwoman Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer amid criticism voiced by conservatives Friedrich Merz and Roland Koch.[5] Ahead of the Christian Democrats’ leadership election, he publicly endorsed in 2020 Armin Laschet to succeed Kramp-Karrenbauer as the party’s chair.[6]
