From 2000 to 2001 she was deputy governor of the Yamal-Nenets district. In December 2001, she was elected as a member of the Russian State Duma for the district in an unscheduled election after Viktor Chernomyrdin , the previous district member, had changed as ambassador to Ukraine. In the regular Duma elections in December 2003 and December 2007 , Komarova ran for the United Russia MP and was elected both times.

For the office of governor of the Khanty and Mansi Autonomous Okrug (Ugra) Komarova was proposed to the district parliament by President Medvedev on February 8, 2010 , and was able to prevail unanimously against the previous governor Alexander Filipenko and two other candidates. She was introduced to office on March 1, 2010; the current legislative period runs until 2015.

As a member of the Duma, Komarowa is currently the chair of the Duma committee for raw materials, nature and environmental protection. In 2006 she was one of the initiators of the new Russian Forest Code , which significantly reduces the role of the state in regulating forestry and fire protection and essentially transfers it to tenants and regional administrations. This change in the law came under public criticism, especially in the summer of 2010, as it is seen as one of the causes of the massive spread of forest and peat fires in several regions of central Russia.

Natalia Komarowa is married and has two daughters.
