Tino Sorge (born 4 March 1975) is a German lawyer and politician of the Christian Democratic Union (CDU) who has been serving as a member of the Bundestag from the state of Saxony-Anhalt since 2013.

In addition to his work in parliament, Sorge served as a Parliamentary State Secretary at the German Ministry of Health in the government of Chancellor Friedrich Merz from 2025 to 2026.[1]

Political career

Sorge first became a member of the Bundestag in the 2013 German federal election, representing the Magdeburg district.[2] From 2013 to 2025, he was a member of the Health Committee.[3] Following the 2021 elections, Sorge became his parliamentary group’s spokesperson for health policy.[4]

In addition to his committee assignments, Sorge is part of the der German-American Parliamentary Friendship Group, the German-Chinese Parliamentary Friendship Group, and the German-Russian Parliamentary Friendship Group.

Political positions

In June 2017, Sorge voted against his parliamentary group's majority and in favor of Germany's introduction of same-sex marriage.[5]

Ahead of the Christian Democrats’ leadership election, Sorge publicly endorsed in 2020 Jens Spahn to succeed Annegret Kramp-Karrenbauer as the party's chair.[6]

Controversy

In 2022, German tabloid Bild reported Sorge was absent from parliament on several session days in September 2020 and attended an intensive course at a hunting school during this time.[7]
