As has been the case since 2010, the constituency is represented by the SPD MP Karl Schultheis. The list places of the MPs Ulla Thönissen (CDU, 33rd place) and Karin Schmitt-Promny (Greens, 17th place), who only moved up in the course of the last electoral term, were not enough for a return to the state parliament.
