She became a member of parliament in 2015 after joining the Social Democratic Party of Finland (SDP). According to the BBC, Marin’s political career “began at the age of 20,” in the years after her high school graduation and when she first established her relationship with the Social Democratic Youth.

Marin joined the Social Democratic Youth in 2006, and she served as the first vice president from 2010 to 2012. In 2008, she ran for office in Tampere’s City Council but was not successful; in 2012, she ran again and was elected.

Until June 2020, Antti Rinne held the position of official party leader; nevertheless, the SDP chose Marin to succeed him as Finland’s prime minister in December 2019. Antti Lindtman suffered a narrow defeat to Marin.
