Political activity

Stoch was Juso district chairman from 1987 to 1991 . In 1990 he joined the SPD. He became a board member in the SPD local association Heidenheim. Since 2001 he has been chairman of the Heidenheim district association of the SPD. Stoch was a member of the district council of the Heidenheim district . On April 1, 2009, Stoch became a member of the Baden-Württemberg state parliament during the 14th electoral term. He replaced the outgoing MP Wolfgang Staiger , who won a second mandate for the SPD in the Heidenheim constituency in the 2006 state elections . Stoch then worked in the state parliament as spokesman for the SPD parliamentary group for data protection and media policy.

In the 2011 state elections , he won a second mandate in the Heidenheim constituency with 29.8% of the vote and thus managed to rejoin the state parliament. During this legislative period, Stoch was parliamentary managing director and legal and media policy spokesman for the SPD parliamentary group until January 2013 . He also appeared as a member of the EnBW Deal investigative committee and the Stuttgart 21 police operation on so-called "Black Friday".

After the resignation of Gabriele Warminski-Leitheußer on January 7, 2013, Stoch was designated as the new Minister of Culture in the Kretschmann I cabinet ; the swearing-in took place on January 23, 2013.

After the SPD suffered heavy losses in the state elections in 2016 and the green-red coalition lost its majority, Prime Minister Kretschmann formed a green-black state government. Like the other SPD ministers, Stoch left the state government and was then elected chairman of the Social Democrats in the state parliament. The result of the state elections in 2016 deteriorated to 19.4% and Stoch again won a second mandate for the SPD in the Heidenheim constituency .

As a result of the split in the AfD parliamentary group between July 6 and October 2016, the SPD moved from the fourth-largest parliamentary group to the third-largest parliamentary group after Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen and CDU. During this time, Stoch took over the role of opposition leader from the previous AfD parliamentary group leader Jörg Meuthen .

At the SPD state party conference in Sindelfingen on November 24, 2018, Stoch was elected as the new state chairman. He received 159 delegate votes, 151 votes went to Lars Castellucci . The previous state chairman Leni Breymaier had not run again after she was only a few votes ahead of Castellucci in the previous membership decision, through which the state chairman was to be decided; Stoch had not yet started this membership decision. Stoch also took over the chairmanship of the board of trustees of the Carlo Schmid Foundation from Leni Breymaier in accordance with the statutes .

Stoch should lead the Southwest SPD in the state election in 2021.

During the economic crisis in the course of the corona pandemic , in June 2020, in contrast to the head of the SPD, Stoch demanded a car purchase bonus for new vehicles with internal combustion engines.
