Sofia Rossen ran in the local elections in 2005, but was not elected. In the same year she ran for the 2005 Folketing election . She was one of four candidates for the Inuit Ataqatigiit. In the election she received only 92 votes and thus the third fewest of all candidates. However, because Kuupik Kleist won a seat for the IA, Sofia Rossen became third deputy. From April 10 to June 1, 2007, however, she made it to the Folketing because Kuupik Kleist and his partner Aviâja Vandersee, who was the second deputy, were on parental leave and the first deputy, Georg Olsen, had also canceled. In the 2007 Folketing election she ran again. This time Juliane Henningsen was able to get the seat and Sofia Rossen became second deputy with 239 votes. From January 12 to October 4, 2010 she was again a member of the Folketing because Juliane Henningsen was on parental leave and the first deputy, Josef Motzfeldt, was meanwhile President of Parliament in Inatsisartut . In the 2011 Folketing election she was again second deputy behind Sara Olsvig and Johan Lund Olsen with 417 votes, but did not have to take the office during this legislative period. In the 2013 Inatsisartut election , she clearly missed a place in Greenland's parliament with just 20 votes. In the election a year later she received only 17 votes. Subsequently, she no longer ran for elections.
