She was elected to the European Parliament in May 2019.[6] Der Spiegel described Anderson as an activist of the right-wing Pegida alliance. Before the election, she stated her goal was to "lead Germany out of this EU nightmare".[7] In the European Parliament, she is a member of the Committee on Culture and Education, the Committee on Women's Rights and Gender Equality and the Special Committee on Artificial Intelligence in the Digital Age, and a deputy in the Committee on the Internal Market and Consumer Protection.[8]
