'der Politiker' and 'die Politikerin' both mean a person who works professionally in politics. The difference is mainly gender and grammatical form. 'Der Politiker' is used for a man, or sometimes generally for the professional group. 'Die Politikerin' is used for a woman. The words can be confused because the professional meaning is the same. But when you are talking about a specific woman, 'die Politikerin' sounds more precise and more natural.
