In 1998, Brems joined the Greens and was initially an expert citizen in Gütersloh in the youth welfare committee and spokeswoman for the local Green Association. In 2004 she was elected to the City Council of Gütersloh, to which she has belonged ever since. From 2008 to 2010 she was a member of the board of the Green State Association of North Rhine-Westphalia . In the 2009 local elections, she ran for the Greens in the city of Gütersloh as a candidate for mayor. From 2010 to 2014 she was the spokeswoman for the Green District Association of Gütersloh. Since 2016 she has been chairwoman of the Green District Association of Ostwestfalen-Lippe . Brems is a recognized expert on questions of climate protection and energy policy.

Member of the state parliament of North Rhine-Westphalia

For the state election in North Rhine-Westphalia in 2010 , she ran in the state constituency of Gütersloh II . In May 2010 she entered the state parliament for the first time via the 15th place on the reserve list. In the 15th legislative period she was the spokesperson for “Climate Protection and Energy Policy” for the Green Parliamentary Group and a member of the “Building, Housing and Transport”, “Economy and Energy” and “Climate Protection, Environment, Nature Conservation, Agriculture and Consumer Protection” committees.

In the state elections in 2012 , she again moved into the state parliament over the 15th place on the list of her party and was confirmed as the spokesperson for “climate protection and energy policy” for the Green parliamentary group. She was a member of the “Economy and Energy” and “Climate Protection, Environment, Nature Conservation, Agriculture and Consumer Protection” committees and of the Mining Safety Sub-Committee.

In the state elections in May 2017 , Brems narrowly missed entry into the state parliament in 15th place on the state list. However, she moved up in July 2017 for former school minister Sylvia Löhrmann, who was leaving the state parliament . Since then she has been the spokesperson for climate protection , energy policy , mining safety and anti-nuclear policy for the Green parliamentary group in the state parliament of North Rhine-Westphalia. Brems is the spokesperson for the "Committee for Economic Affairs, Energy and State Planning", a member of the "Committee for Digitization and Innovation" and the spokesperson for the "Mining Safety Subcommittee" of the NRW state parliament. In the current 17th legislative period, 14 members of the Green parliamentary group belong to the state parliament.

Political positions

Brems works primarily in the field of energy policy and climate protection and takes the position that a complete energy transition is technically feasible and economically sensible. According to Brems, 50 percent of the electricity generated in North Rhine-Westphalia should come from renewable energies by 2030 , and an exit from coal- fired power generation must be tackled swiftly, in a coordinated and socially responsible manner and implemented over the next two decades. For Brems, the passing of the North Rhine-Westphalian Climate Protection Act under the then red-green state government in 2013 is a political milestone on the way to transforming the German energy supply towards a full supply from renewable energies. Brems criticizes that "the black and yellow state government is driving the energy transition in North Rhine-Westphalia."
