Career
Political career
Zimmer joined the AfD in early 2017 at age 18, motivated by dissatisfaction with Angela Merkel's migration and euro policies, which she viewed as working against the majority of the population.[5]
She was elected to the Pforzheim city council in 2019 and served as chairwoman of the AfD fraction there from January 2022 until stepping down after her election to the Bundestag in 2025.[4][6]
Since 2022, she has been chairwoman of the AfD district association (Kreisverband) Pforzheim/Enzkreis, a position reconfirmed in October 2025.[7] In February 2024, she became a member (Beisitzerin) of the AfD state executive board in Baden-Württemberg.[8]
In the 2025 German federal election, Zimmer was elected to the Bundestag via the Baden-Württemberg state list (associated with the Pforzheim constituency).[2] She is a full member of the Finance Committee (Finanzausschuss) and a substitute member of the Foreign Affairs Committee (Ausschuss für Auswärtige Angelegenheiten).[2] She also serves as deputy chairwoman of the German-French Parliamentary Friendship Group.[9]
Zimmer has participated in parliamentary debates, including speeches criticizing inheritance tax proposals, debt-financed policies, and left-wing initiatives on fiscal matters.[10][11]
