Emmi Zeulner (Lichtenfels, Bavaria, Germany, 27 March 1987) is a German politician who represents the Christian Social Union (CSU) in the Bundestag, the German federal parliament.
Zeulner is the daughter of an innkeeper[1] from Degendorf.[2] She became interested in politics at an early age[1] after hearing it discussed in her father's tavern.[2] In cultural events, she represented her town as a basket maker.[1] After leaving school, she studied to become a nurse.[2] In 2008 she was elected a local councillor.[2]
Selection contest
In January 2013, Zeulner was selected as the CSU candidate for the Kulmbach constituency, defeating two CSU candidates from neighbouring counties.[3]

After her selection, Zeulner stated that she would focus on rural and health issues in the Bundestag if elected.[2]
Election
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]
