Political career

Kiziltepe became a member of the Bundestag in the 2013 German federal election.[6] She has since been a member of the Finance Committee; in this capacity, she is her parliamentary group's rapporteur on plans to introduce a financial transaction tax. In 2018, she also joined the Sports Committee.[7][8]

Within the SPD parliamentary group, Kiziltepe belongs to the Parliamentary Left, a left-wing movement.[9]
