Political career

[edit]

Kaufmann was elected to the Landtag of Thuringia in 2019. On 5 March 2020 he was elected vice president of the Landtag with the narrowest possible majority, marking the first time the Thuringian AfD faction held this office.[2] In the 2021 German federal election he defeated CDU incumbent Albert Weiler. Consequently, on 5 November 2021 Kaufmann resigned as member of the Landtag of Thuringia.[3]
