Early life and career
[edit]Repp was born in Tessin, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, in 1999.[2][3] Her father is a painter and her mother is a cleaner.[4][5] She graduated from TU Dresden with a bachelor's degree in political science in 2021, and from the University of Rostock with a master's degree in political science in 2023.[3] She has been serving as deputy chair of the Mecklenburg-Vorpommern branch of Jusos since 2022, and previously served as chair of Jusos in Sächsische Schweiz-Osterzgebirge (2019–2020), and as deputy chair of Jusos in Saxony (2019–2021).[3]
In October 2023, Repp was nominated as the European candidate for the SPD Mecklenburg-Vorpommern.[6] In January 2024, she was elected to 11th place on the national SPD list at a conference in Berlin. It is the first time in years that the SPD Mecklenburg-Vorpommern has been able to secure a safe place on the list.[7] In advance, the SPD Mecklenburg-Vorpommern had reached an agreement with the SPD of Saxony-Anhalt, which continues to not be directly represented in the European Parliament. The Prime Minister of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Manuela Schwesig, and the SPD's top candidate, Katarina Barley, supported Repp's candidacy.[8]
