Daughter of Gustavo Krause and Clea Borges, Priscila has four siblings - Daniela, Manoela, Arthur, and Lara - and is the only one of her generation to have followed a political career, like her father, who was governor of Pernambuco, mayor of Recife, Minister of Finance, Minister of Environment, Water Resources, and the Legal Amazon, federal deputy, and city councillor of Recife. She was elected councillor in 2004 while attending the second year of Journalism at the Catholic University of Pernambuco, graduating in 2008.[1]

She has been a Democrats (DEM) member since she was 16 years old, when the party was still called PFL.[2] Priscila Krause was elected councillor of Recife in 2004 with 8,376 votes, for the PFL party.[1] Her first term of office was focused on human rights policies, winning the presidency of the Human Rights Commission in the City Council.

In 2007, she became president of the municipal directory of the DEM in Recife. In 2008, she was re-elected councilwoman for the party with 10,270 votes, being the 7th most voted candidate.[3] She was leader of the opposition to the government of Mayor João da Costa (PT) in 2010 and 2011, and was active in demanding more transparency in the municipal government.

In 2012, she was again elected councilwoman, being the 3rd most voted candidate with 13,386 votes[4] and the only one from the coalition Por um Recife Melhor (For a Better Recife) (DEM/PMN) to be elected.[5]
