Political career

Mast became a member of the Bundestag in the 2005 German federal election.[2] She is a member of the Mediation Committee.[3] From 2017 until 2021, she served as one of her parliamentary group's deputy chairpersons, under the leadership of successive chairs Andrea Nahles (2017–2019) and Rolf Mützenich (2019–2021). Since 2022, Mast has been serving on the Committee on the Election of Judges (Wahlausschuss), which is in charge of appointing judges to the Federal Constitutional Court of Germany.[4]

In the negotiations to form a so-called traffic light coalition of the SPD, the Green Party and the Free Democrats (FDP) following the 2021 German elections, Mast was part of her party's delegation in the working group on social policy, co-chaired by Dagmar Schmidt, Sven Lehmann and Johannes Vogel.[5]
