Political career
Letanovská ran in the 2020 Slovak parliamentary election on the list of For the People party. She failed to win a mandate, but nonetheless became a deputy as a replacement for Vladimír Ledecký during the time he served as a State Secretary from 2020 to 2021, as the Slovak constitution does not allow for combination of government membership and parliament mandate.[4] Following the loss of her seat, she left the party as well due to her disagreements with the leadership of Veronika Remišová.[5]
In May 2021, she joined the Democrats party.[6] In June 2023, Letanovská became the election leader of the Democrats for the 2023 Slovak parliamentary election.[7]
