Linkenheld began her political engagement as the national secretary of the Young Socialist Movement. From 2008, she was deputy mayor of Lille, in charge of housing.[1]

She successfully stood in the 2012 French legislative election for Nord's 2nd constituency against another deputy mayor of Lille, Éric Quiquet.[1][2]

After the victory of Benoît Hamon in the citizen's primary of 2017, she was named the leader (with Daniel Goldberg) of the "Politics of the city, housing" theme of Hamon's presidential campaign.[3][4] In her National Assembly re-election attempt in 2017, she was eliminated (by a small margin) in the first round.

She is on the board of Sciences Po Lille.[5]
