politics

Martin joined the Alternative for Germany (AfD) in 2013 and was spokeswoman for the AfD district association Rhein-Neckar.

In the state elections in Baden-Württemberg in 2016 , she received 18.6 percent of the votes in the constituency of Wiesloch (constituency 37) and moved into the state parliament of Baden-Württemberg . She declared that she wanted to dedicate her future work in the state parliament to "her two core issues of education and family".

During the split from July to October 2016, Martin belonged to the Alternative for Baden-Württemberg parliamentary group . In mid-December 2016, Martin resigned from the AfD and the AfD parliamentary group. She no longer wants to support the right-wing populist course of the AfD and will in future be active as a non-attached member of the state parliament. As reasons, she named the "anti-system opposition course, lack of interest in factual politics in her parliamentary group, the strong tendency towards right-wing extremist views within the parliamentary group, the renunciation of political material work and the constant and one-sided scandalization of the refugee issue". She also criticized the formation of "WhatsApp groups with which certain people were supported in the preparation of candidates for the state list for the federal election". Fractional leader Jörg Meuthen accused her of “an action prepared from behind for cheap 15 minutes of fame” and said it might have been better if she “ran for one of the left-wing populist cartel parties”.

In October 2017, she applied to join the CDU . In November 2017, her application for membership in the CDU was granted. Two weeks later she was accepted into the CDU parliamentary group.
