From 2016 until 2017, Kuric was a member of La République En Marche! (LREM). She quit her party on 6 June 2019, having been a prominent critic of the asylum-immigration bill proposed by the government in July 2018. She remained, however, a member of LREM's parliamentary group.[4][5]

Political career

Having acted as the departmental organizer and contact person (référente) for the newly established En Marche! party in Marne during the 2017 French presidential election campaign, Kuric was elected to the National Assembly in the legislative elections which followed in June of that year. Standing for En Marche! in the 2nd constituency of Marne, she received 51.21% of the votes cast in the second round, beating the outgoing deputy, The Republicans' Catherine Vautrin.[8]

In the National Assembly, Kuric served on the Finance Committee from 2017 until 2018 before moving to the Committee on Foreign Affairs.[9] In addition to her committee assignments, she was part of the French-Madagascar Parliamentary Friendship Group.

Kuric later joined Agir. She lost her seat in the first round of the 2022 French legislative election.[10]
