politics

Elvinger has been a member of the DP since 2005. In the local elections in November 2005, she was elected to the Walferdingen municipal council for the first time. From November 2011 to the end of 2015 she acted there as an alderman and then, as the successor to Guy Arendt , as mayor until November 2017.

In the 2013 parliamentary election , Elvinger made it into the Chamber of Deputies in the Mitte constituency, benefiting as a successor from the fact that, with Xavier Bettel and Corinne Cahen, two who were placed before her, moved into government and waived their mandate due to the applicable incompatibility rules. Since the same constellation had arisen in the following election in 2018 , she again had to wait until the government was formed before she could take her seat in the chamber. In parliament, Elvinger concentrated on budgetary and financial issues as well as the implementation of a tax reform.

Since the beginning of 2020, Elvinger has succeeded Henri Grethen as a member of Luxembourg at the European Court of Auditors, her term of office runs until the end of 2025. At the same time, she gave up her seat in the chamber and was succeeded by the Secretary General of the DP, Claude Lamberty .Template: future / in 5 years
