In 1999 she tried vainly to be chosen in the Knesset by forming Tnufa (an independent list meaning "momentum") with Avi Balashnikov. In December 2005 she finally became a Member of Knesset (MK) for Likud when several Likud politicians had switched to the recently formed Kadima. Her parliamentary career already ended in March 2006 when she wasn't chosen in the elections.
