Christine Häsler (born 11 January 1963) is a Swiss politician (The Greens). She served between 2002 and 2015 as a member of the Grand Council (cantonal parliament) of Bern.[1] She moved into national politics in June 2015 when she became a member of the country's National Council (lower house of the federal/national parliament).[2] [3] [4] 2018 she was elected as member of the government of the Canton of Bern.
Christine Häsler was born in Unterseen, a quarter on the western side of Interlaken, in the Canton of Bern.[2] She attended school in nearby Grindelwald and Wilderswil. She then undertook a 3/4 year commercial apprenticeship with the Grindelwald district council.[5] She subsequently worked as clerk to the local council at Lütschental, where her family has its roots.[5] [6] More recently she took over the house in the adjacent hamlet of Burglauenen where her grandparents parents had lived.[6] Since 2011, she has worked as head of communications with Kraftwerke Oberhasli, an energy (hydro-electricity) company with a sideline in tourist attractions.[7]
Häsler served between 2002 and 2015 as a member of the Grand Council of Bern.[1] During that time she served between 2006 and 2014 as leader of the Green Party group in the assembly.[3] In the cantonal elections of 2014 she achieved the second best result in her voting district, "Interlaken-Oberhasli". The result was particularly noteworthy because of the deeply conservative nature of the constituency.[3]
After the unexpected resignation of Alec von Graffenried in June 2015, she became a member of the country's National Council. Later that year she was elected to the parliament in the October general election.[8]
In 2018 Häsler was elected as member of the government of the Canton of Bern[9] and therefore left the National Council.
