In 2009, she was elected to the House of Representatives as a Liberal Democratic Party representative of Kyoto 5th district.[1] On June 26, 2012, during a vote on social security and integrated tax reform legislation, she was one of eleven representatives who urged Prime Minister Yoshihiko Noda to vote against the opposing Democratic Party representatives.[2]
