Political career

edit

Jerkel has been in the municipal council of Greve Municipality since the 2005 Danish local elections, and has previously served as deputy mayor of the municipality. Additionally she has been a member of the regional council of Region Zealand since 2014. Jerkel ran in the 2015 election, where she received 1,236 votes. This was not enough for a seat in parliament, but it made her the Conservative People's Party's primary substitute in the Zealand constituency. She served as substitute for Brian Mikkelsen from 15 December 2016 to 21 June 2018. When Brian Mikkelsen resigned his seat in parliament on 22 June 2018 Jerkel took over the seat. She was elected into parliament on her own mandate in 2019, receiving 3,485 votes.[1][2][3]
