Political career

Rohde first became member of the Bundestag in the 2013 German federal election, representing Oldenburg – Ammerland.[1] He has since been a member of both the Budget Committee and the Audit Committee.[2] From 2014 until 2016, he also served on the Committee on Legal Affairs and Consumer Protection.

On the Budget Committee, Rohde has been the SPD parliamentary group's rapporteur on the annual budgets of the Federal Ministry of Defence and the Federal Constitutional Court since 2018. Since 2020, he has been his parliamentary group's spokesperson on budgetary affairs.[3] He also joined the so-called Confidential Committee (Vertrauensgremium) of the Budget Committee, which provides budgetary supervision for Germany's three intelligence services, BND, BfV and MAD.

Also since 2020, Rohde has been a member of the parliament’s Council of Elders, which – among other duties – determines daily legislative agenda items and assigns committee chairpersons based on party representation.
