Political career

From 2013 to the beginning of 2016 he was also an assessor in the AfD district association of Central Thuringia.^[1] In the 2014 Thuringian state election, he entered the Thuringian state parliament via the AfD Thuringia state list. On 22 September 2014, he was elected parliamentary manager of the AfD state parliamentary group.^[2] In March 2015, he signed the Erfurter Resolution.

Möller is a member of the Committee for Economics and Science. He is also the AfD parliamentary group's spokesman on energy policy, economic policy and migration policy. From 2015 to November 6, 2017, Möller was a member of the advisory board of the Thuringian Development Bank and the Society for Employment and Economic Development of the Free State of Thuringia mbH. In April 2018, Möller was elected chairman of the Justice Committee in the Thuringian state parliament. The election was preceded by a dispute lasting several months after the previous chairman, Stephan Brandnerr, moved to the Bundestag; MPs from the SPD, the Left and the Greens accused Möller of a "lack of understanding of the rule of law" and of abusing the rights of parliament with "rules of procedure games".

In the mayoral election in Erfurt on April 15, 2018, Stefan Möller received 14.4 percent of the vote and came in third place.^[3]

Along with Björn Höcke, Möller was the co-initiator of the Wednesday demonstrations of the Thuringian regional association of the AfD.
