Political career
In the 2013 Bundestag election, Voßbeck-Kayser was elected as a member of the German Bundestag via position 34 on the CDU state list for North Rhine-Westphalia, but lost out as a direct candidate by a margin of just 53 votes to her competitor Dagmar Freitag (SPD).[1] In the 2017 election, the result in the first votes was also close: she fell short of victory as a direct candidate by 1,173 votes, which corresponded to 0.8% of the first votes. Since she was not secured with one of the front places via the state list, she dropped out of the Bundestag.[3]
