Corinna Kracke was born inOldenburg in 1983.[1] She grew up inHude, Lower Saxony, and studied law (without completing a degree).[1] She became member of German Bundestag after the2017 German federal election.[2] She was a member of the Committee on European Union Affairs.[3]
In 2019, there were disputes over the head of the Bavarian AfD state party. Political influencer[clarification needed] Tom Rohrböck supported Miazga. He reportedly encouraged her to run for the state chairmanship. Rohrböck wrote to an unnamed competitor three days before the election: "I don't think you should be a candidate." A day later, he added: "You run into a trap. You don't get more than 30 percent." Shortly before the election to the state executive committee, the competitor actually withdrew his candidacy. Miazga later denied having won the state presidency due to Rohrböck's help. In November 2020, Miazga said she had breast cancer and would not be active as chairwoman of AfD Bavaria. In 2021, she was re-elected to the Bundestag on the state list coming second inStraubing. In October 2021, she lost the re-election as Bavarian party chairwoman toStephan Protschka.[citation needed]
Miazga died ofbreast cancer on 25 February 2023, aged 39.[1][4] She was replaced in the Bundestag byRainer Rothfuß who moved up the list.
