politics

Wehlan was a member of the SED from 1979, from 1990 a member of the PDS and then of the DIE LINKE party .

From 1990 until 2013 she was a member of the Luckenwalde city council and was also a member of the Teltow-Fläming district council from 1998 to 2013 , where she was chair of the DIE LINKE parliamentary group.

In September 1999 she was able to enter the Brandenburg state parliament for the first time via her party's state list. In the 2004 state elections , she was directly elected to the state parliament in the fourth electoral term in the constituency of Teltow-Fläming II . She acted as the spokesperson for agricultural policy and rural development for her group. She was also a member of the Committee on Rural Development, Environment and Consumer Protection and the Committee on European Affairs and Development Policy . In the state elections in 2009 she again won the direct mandate in her constituency and in the 5th parliamentary term of the state parliament held the post of spokeswoman for transport policy, regional planning and spatial planning in the parliamentary group of the Left Party. She was also the deputy parliamentary group leader and worked in the Brandenburg state parliament in the main committee and in the committee for infrastructure and agriculture , which she chaired.

In the election to the district administrator in the Teltow-Fläming district on March 24, 2013, she received the most votes with 36.7%. But since she neither achieved the quorum of 15% of all eligible voters nor an absolute majority in the first ballot, a runoff election took place on April 14, 2013 with the second-placed applicant Frank Gerhard (SPD). Here it received a clear majority with 66.2%, but since it again missed the quorum by 541 votes, the district council had to determine the new district administrator. On September 9, 2013, she surprisingly prevailed with 27 to 25 votes against the Senftenberg mayor Andreas Fredrich (SPD), who had previously been the favorite . With the handover of the certificate of appointment to the electoral office and the swearing-in before the Teltow-Fläming district council on October 14th and 21st, 2013, Kornelia Wehlan is the first woman at the head of an administrative district in Brandenburg. As district administrator, Kornelia Wehlan has renounced her mandates in the Brandenburg state parliament, the Teltow-Fläming district assembly and the Luckenwalde city council. She also resigned the chairmanship of the Teltow-Fläming district association of the DIE LINKE party.
