She had better luck in the local elections that same year, where she received 235 votes for her party in the municipality of Kujalleq and thus entered the local council. She was able to repeat this result in 2017, when she achieved the second most of all candidates with 313 votes. In the 2018 parliamentary elections, she received 99 votes and finished in first place in the Inatsisartut. In the 2021 general election, she received 133 votes and returned to parliament. At the same time, however, she received by far the best result in the local elections in the municipality of Kujalleq, with 410 votes.[2] As a result, she was appointed mayor of the municipality and took a leave of absence from parliament.[3]
