The Kulmbach constituency had been held by the party since a 1950 by-election and at the previous election her predecessor, the high-profile Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg, had received the highest vote share in Germany.[3] She held the seat at the 2013 election, receiving nearly 57% of the vote.[5] She was the youngest CSU candidate in the election.[3] After Mahmut Özdemir, she was the second youngest candidate elected.[6][5]
As member of the Bundestag, Zeulner serves on the Health Committee, where she is her parliamentary group’s rapporteur on palliative and hospice medicine, drugs and other addictive substances as well as migration issues.
