In 2004, Kudla moved to the Rosenheim city administration as a treasurer . Since May 1, 2005, Kudla was mayor and councilor for finances of the city of Leipzig . In her capacity as a member of the Bundestag, she is a member of the district executive committee of the CDU Leipzig.
For the Bundestag election on September 27, 2009 , Kudla ran for the Leipzig CDU as a direct candidate in the Bundestag constituency of Leipzig I and was elected to the German Bundestag with 33.3% of the first votes and re-elected with 40.0% in the 2013 Bundestag election. In the 18th German Bundestag she was a member of the finance committee and was the rapporteur of her group for general insurance , liberal professions and social security .

On June 2, 2016, she was the only member of the German Bundestag to vote publicly against a joint motion by the CDU / CSU, SPD and Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen, which launched the genocide of the Armenians and other Christian minorities in 1915 and 1916 by Turkey has to the subject. She declared her rejection in a personal explanation of vote:
“It is not the task of the German Bundestag to make historical assessments of events in other countries. The processing of historical events is the responsibility of the affected state, in this case the Republic of Turkey. [...] The political and financial consequences resulting from this application cannot be calculated. Immediate financial consequences could result from the opening of demands for reparation on the part of Armenia. [...] Just from the knowledge of processes, m. E. It cannot be deduced that the German Reich was partly to blame for the events of the persecution of the Armenians at that time. What this responsibility consists of is not apparent in the application. [...] Even today the Federal Government and the German Bundestag are aware of massacres of Syrians, for example.
A few days later, the Turkish town of Pazar , which had previously revoked Cem Özdemir 's honorary citizenship , applied for honorary citizenship to Kudla without contacting her personally.
In August 2016, Kudla's constituency office in Leipzig-Gohlis was devastated by strangers. A letter of confession was published on linksunten.indymedia in which Kudla's involvement in the tightening of asylum law and the deterioration in Hartz IV were criticized.
On September 24, 2016, Kudla tweeted “BK #Merkel denies it, #Tauber dreams. The # Umvolkung #Germany began long ago. There is a need for action! ". CDU General Secretary Peter Tauber wrote “The statements from @kudlaleipzig are completely unacceptable in terms of content and tone. That doesn't stand for the @CDU “. Michael Grosse-Brömer , one of the parliamentary managing directors of the CDU, wrote “Tweet from @KudlaLeipzig is unspeakable. The @cducsubt distances itself clearly from content and language. "
She tweeted about the Turkish regime critic Can Dündar : "Cansel # Dünnschiss, pardon, Can # Dündar says ..." Kudla had this and the "Umvolkungs" tweet deleted on September 26, 2016.
The CDU members in her constituency did not re- elect Kudla as a direct candidate for the 2017 federal election. It was defeated by the former racing cyclist Jens Lehmann .
