Kevin Kühnert (born 1 July 1989) is a German politician (SPD) and member of the Bundestag since the 2021 elections, representing Berlin-Tempelhof-Schöneberg.

He then completed a voluntary social year (German: Freiwilliges Soziales Jahr) in a Berlin-based organization for children and young people.

When Johanna Uekermann did not run as a candidate again, in November 2017, the Juso federal congress in Saarbrücken elected Kühnert as chairman, with 225 of 297 votes.

[1][2] At a SPD national convention in 2019, he was elected as one of the five deputies of the party's co-chairs Saskia Esken and Norbert Walter-Borjans, alongside Klara Geywitz, Hubertus Heil, Serpil Midyatli and Anke Rehlinger.

[4] In an August 2020 interview with Der Tagesspiegel Kühnert announced that he would step down as chair of the Jusos, saying that the "time was right" for new leadership in advance of an anticipated 2021 German federal election.

[9] In an interview with German newspaper Die Zeit in May 2019, Kühnert described himself as being a democratic socialist,[11] promoting the municipalization of large firms and the expropriation of owners from companies like BMW and people who own more than one house or apartment.
