Political career

Parliament

She caused a media stir in April 2021, after posting a picture on Facebook of her pregnant belly, which was a reaction to the Socialist Left Party's decision to extend the limit for self-determined abortion from the current Norwegian law which allows 12 weeks, to 22 weeks.

Party politics

Lossius was a candidate for first deputy leader of the party ahead of the 2023 convention that April, but lost with 56 votes against Ida Lindtveit Røse's 98.

In the aftermath of Olaug Bollestad's resignation in August 2024, the party's election committee officially designated her as second deputy leader in December, with Dag Inge Ulstein as leader and Ida Lindtveit Røse as first deputy leader.

Local politics

She served as deputy mayor of Lillesand between 2015 and 2019. She took over from the Conservatives' Hege Marie Holthe and was later succeeded by fellow party member Geir Svenningsen.

Following the 2023 local elections, she was elected deputy county mayor, with the Conservative Party's Arne Thomassen as county mayor.
