Anna Kolbrún Árnadóttir was a member of the Progress Party before moving to the Center Party and ran for a seat in the Icelandic parliament Althing in the 2013 parliamentary elections in Iceland in the Northeastern constituency , but was not elected. Among other things, she held the office of equal opportunities commissioner in this party and was chairwoman of the women's organization Landssamband Framsóknarkvenna . In September 2017, she resigned from all party offices. She justified this with the fact that the Progress Party had made wrong decisions in recent years, and criticized the previous year’s election of Sigmundur Davíð Gunnlaugsson as party president, whose services to the party and the country had been underestimated.

For the parliamentary election on October 28, 2017 , Anna Kolbrún successfully ran as a candidate for the Center Party founded by Sigmundur Davíð Gunnlaugsson and has since been a member of the Althing for the North-Eastern constituency. As of the end of 2017, she is a member of the Parliamentary Committee on Justice and Education and the Committee on Welfare and is a member of the Icelandic delegation to the Nordic Council .
