In 2017 she ran again for the Bundestag in her constituency, but only achieved 26.7% and was thus again clearly defeated by the CDU candidate Carsten Brodesser.[8] Due to the poor results of her party, she was not able to enter the Bundestag again this time via the state list (list position 20). She left the Bundestag.[9] She also failed to re-enter the Bundestag in the 2021 federal election.
