Sage contested the Selwyn electorate at the 2011 general election for the Green Party. Although she did not win the electorate, she was ranked at sixth on the party's list.[6] The Green Party received sufficient votes to return 14 list members and Sage was elected to Parliament.

In the 2014 election, Sage contested the Port Hills electorate and was returned to Parliament again via the Green Party list.[8] Following the 2017 election, Sage assumed the ministerial portfolios for Conservation and Land Information, and Associate Minister for the Environment.[9]

During the 2020 New Zealand election that was held on 17 October, Sage was re-elected to Parliament on the party list.[10] She also contested the Banks Peninsula electorate and came third place behind Labour's Tracey McLellan and National's Catherine Chu.<ref>"Banks Peninsula - Official Result".
