Political career

Kindler first became a member of the Bundestag in the 2009 German federal election.[2] He has since been a member of the Budget Committee; in 2018, he also joined its Sub-Committee on European Affairs. In this capacity, he is his parliamentary group's rapporteur on the annual budget of the Federal Ministry of Transport and Digital Infrastructure and the Federal Ministry of the Environment, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety, among others. Within his parliamentary group, he serves as spokesman on budget policy.[3]

In addition to his committee assignments, Kindler has been part of the German-Israeli Parliamentary Friendship Group (since 2009) and the German-Iranian Parliamentary Friendship Group (since 2018).

Ahead of the 2021 elections, Kindler was elected to lead the Green Party's campaign in Lower Saxony, alongside Filiz Polat.[4] In the negotiations to form a so-called traffic light coalition of the Social Democratic Party (SPD), the Green Party and the Free Democratic Party (FDP) following the elections, he was part of his party's delegation in the working group on financial regulation and the national budget, co-chaired by Doris Ahnen, Lisa Paus and Christian Dürr.[5]
