Julia Elisabeth Herr (born 28 November 1992, in Sigleß, Burgenland) is an Austrian politician affiliated with the Social Democratic Party of Austria (SPÖ).

[4] In the Socialist Youth of Austria, she began her involvement in Pöttsching and worked in the Woman* Political Commission (FPK) for the SJ Burgenland.

[7] Herr highlighted a credibility issue within the SPÖ and advocated for an exit from the coalition with the ÖVP in cases of inadequate enforcement.

At the 37th Regular Congress of the Socialist Youth of Austria on April 14 and 15, 2018, Herr was re-elected for her third term as chair with her best result yet, receiving 87.07 percent of the vote.

[10] In her campaign she emphasized the need to address "the actual concerns of young people, which revolve more around apprenticeships, jobs, and affordable housing."

Although only the former Chancellor Christian Kern (67,227) and former Minister Pamela Rendi-Wagner (2709) received more votes from those ranked ahead of her, she narrowly missed entering the National Council.

In a publication on a party website, Julia Herr positioned herself against a ban on headscarves, stating that it restricts the freedom of choice of those affected and that gender pay gaps constitute a more severe form of discrimination against women.

In her speech, she emphasized that "currently, with incitement against immigrants, against refugees or against Islam, elections are won, but social cutbacks affect migrants, as well as the unemployed and low wage workers.

In 2018, Herr reiterated this demand, expressing her support for the call made by German SPD official Kevin Kühnert for the nationalization of parts of the real estate market, but she clarified that her model "is not the GDR".

[16] In 2014 Herr stated in a press release: "Since the EU-supported coup, it seems that there is a free hand for armed fascist gangs in Ukraine.
