In parliament, Oppelt served on the Economic Affairs Committee from 2017 until 2019, where she was her parliamentary group's coordinator.[3] From 2019 until 2020, she was a member of the Committee on Legal Affairs. She later joined the Committee on Social Affairs in 2020.[4]

Early in the term, Oppelt and Olivia Grégoire launched an informal group of around 50 LREM members in support of strengthening entrepreneurship.[5] In July 2019, she decided not to align with her parliamentary group's majority and became one of 52 LREM members who abstained from a vote on the French ratification of the European Union's Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with Canada.[6]

She lost her seat in the second round of the 2022 French legislative election to Andy Kerbrat from La France Insoumise.
