Career in state politics

[edit]

Since 2010, Ryglewski has been the deputy chair of the SPD in Bremen.

From 2011 to 2015, Ryglewski served as a member of the State Parliament of Bremen. She was her parliamentary group’s spokesperson on consumer protection issues.

Member of the German Parliament, 2015–present

[edit]

After Carsten Sieling was elected mayor of Bremen in July 2015, Ryglewski took his seat as a member of the Bundestag, representing the Bremen I district. In parliament, she served on the Finance Committee (2015-2019), the Committee on Petitions (2015-2017), the Committee on Legal Affairs and Consumer Protection (2018-2019) and the Budget Committee's Subcommittee on European Affairs (2018-2019). Within the SPD parliamentary group, she belongs to the Parliamentary Left, a left-wing movement.[4][5]

In the negotiations to form a fourth coalition government under Merkel's leadership following the 2017 federal elections, Ryglewski was part of the working group on internal and legal affairs, led by Thomas de Maizière, Stephan Mayer and Heiko Maas. From 2018 until 2019, she was her parliamentary group's spokesperson for consumer protections issues.

In 2019, Ryglewski succeeded Christine Lambrecht as Parliamentary State Secretary at the Federal Ministry of Finance, under the leadership of minister Olaf Scholz.[6][7]

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, Ryglewski was part of her party's delegation in the working group on financial regulation and the national budget, co-chaired by Doris Ahnen, Lisa Paus and Christian Dürr.[8]

In July 2024, Ryglewski announced that she would not stand in the 2025 federal elections but instead resign from active politics by the end of the parliamentary term.[9]
