Political career

Runge became politically active as early as 1979/1980 when he co-founded the Greens in Bavaria and West Germany. He has been a member of the Gröbenzell municipal council from 1984 to 1996 and again since 2002, and has also been the honorary 2nd mayor since May 2014. He has also been a member of the Fürstenfeldbruck district council since 1984 .

From 1996 to 2013 Runge was a member of the Bavarian State Parliament. In 2003 he was elected as the first Green MP to chair the Committee on Federal and European Affairs .

In the state parliament or in the parliamentary group, Runge performed the following functions, among others:

  • European and economic policy group spokesman
  • Chairman, Committee on Federal and European Affairs
  • Spokesman for the Ecology and Economy working group
  • Member, media council
  • Chairman of the Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen parliamentary group in the Bavarian state parliament
  • Economic policy spokesman for the group

In the state elections in 2008 he ran unsuccessfully in the Fürstenfeldbruck-Ost constituency , but was re-elected to the state parliament via the Upper Bavaria district list . In February 2011, Runge was elected chairman of the parliamentary group of Alliance 90 / Greens in the Bavarian state parliament. In 2013 he represented the Greens in the committee of inquiry into the Gustl Mollath case . After Mollath's release from psychiatry, Runge demanded that Horst Seehofer be immediately released from Justice Minister Beate Merk ; she had repeatedly portrayed Mollath as "a delusional and dangerous violent criminal" and until the end "served the state parliament and the public with half-truths and falsehoods". As a further consequence of this case, he demanded that the public prosecutor's authority be checked and that the "courts' dependence on the executive (...) over the selection and promotion of judges" be abolished.

In the state elections in 2013 he ran again in the Fürstenfeldbruck-Ost constituency and on the Upper Bavaria district list, but missed the re-entry by 191 votes. On October 26, 2017, he replaced Margarete Bause, who was elected to the Bundestag, in the Landtag. For the remainder of the 17th legislature of the Bavarian State Parliament, he was the political group's spokesman.

Runge ran for the office of Lord Mayor in Fürstenfeldbruck in May 2017 . In the first ballot on May 7th, he achieved the second-best result with almost 30%. In the runoff election on May 21, he was defeated by CSU candidate Erich Raff with 48% with a turnout of 41%.

He is running for the state elections in 2018 in the Fürstenfeldbruck-Ost district and in 12th place on the Upper Bavaria district list. He received 24.90% of the first votes. With 32,166 total votes - and thus the fifth best result of the green candidates in Upper Bavaria - Martin Runge was re-elected to the Bavarian state parliament via the Upper Bavarian list of Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen . Runge has been the committee chairman, member of the broadcasting council and member of the state sports advisory board since the 18th legislature.

In the local elections on March 15, 2020, Martin Runge ran for fourth place on the district council list for the Fürstenfeldbruck district of Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen. With 35,110 votes, he received the best result of all candidates on the district-wide green list. In addition, he ran again as a councilor for the community of Gröbenzell and achieved the highest number of votes (5,477 total votes) on the green list.
