Political party

Ute Granold joined the Junge Union (JU) and the CDU as a student in 1972 . She is also involved in the working group of Christian-democratic lawyers, in the women's union and the local political association of the CDU and CSU . She is a member of the Berliner Kreis , an informal CDU internal conservative group made up of modernization and Merkel skeptics.

MPs

It has been a member of the Klein-Winternheim municipal council since 1984 and of the district council of the Mainz-Bingen district since 1994 . From 1996 to 2002 Granold was also a member of the state parliament of Rhineland-Palatinate . There she was spokeswoman for women's policy and, most recently, also legal advisor for the CDU parliamentary group.

From 2002 to 2013 she was a member of the German Bundestag. Here she was a member of the legal committee and was the spokesperson for questions of family law in the legal working group of the CDU / CSU parliamentary group . She was also a member of the committee for human rights and humanitarian aid and rapporteur for the CDU / CSU parliamentary group on women, children, youth, human trafficking and the Balkans and Latin America regions. In addition, she represented the parliamentary group working group in the coordination committee for humanitarian aid at the Federal Foreign Office.

In 2006 and 2007, she gave the speeches of her parliamentary group in the Bundestag on the amendment to the Civil Partnership Act requested by Bündnis 90 / Die Grünen and the FDP . In 2006 she promised that the Union would be ready to talk about the tax benefits of registered partners. In 2007, however, she defended the behavior of her group, which had postponed any debate on the subject in committee, on the grounds that other amendments that had already entered into force in 2005 may not be constitutional. A corresponding assessment by the Federal Constitutional Court is still pending. One does not want to anticipate that.

Granold entered the Bundestag in 2002 and 2005 via the Rhineland-Palatinate state list . In the 2009 Bundestag election she won the direct mandate and beat Michael Hartmann of the SPD in the Mainz constituency . Granold did not run for the 2013 federal election .
