Political career

Parliament

She served as a deputy representative to the Parliament of Norway from Aust-Agder during the term 2017–2021. In 2019 she moved up to full representative as Kjell Ingolf Ropstad entered Solberg's Cabinet. She was elected deputy member for Vest-Agder in the 2021 election. At the time of election she was also deputy mayor of Lillesand.

She caused a lot of attention in April 2021, after posting a picture on Facebook of her pregnant belly. The picture was a reaction on the Socialist Left Party's decision to extend the limit for self-determined abortion from the current Norwegian law which allows 12 weeks, to 22 weeks.
