Political career

Strøjer-Schmidt was elected into parliament at the 2019 election, although initially at low odds. Before the election she was a relatively unknown politician, and with prominent candidate Serdal Benli also running in the Greater Copenhagen constituency for the Socialist People's Party, experts did not expect to see Strøjer-Schmidt elected. In the election Strøjer-Schmidt received around 4,000 votes while Benli only received around 3,000. Strøjer-Schmidt remained relatively unknown after the election as well, however, with several political commentators not recognizing her name. In the beginning of the 2019–2023 term she was absent in many votes in the parliament, due to her being a member of Nordic Council.^[2][3]
