Bond joined New Zealand First in 2011 and was elected to the party's national board in 2012. [9] She left her hairdressing salon in August 2014, just prior to the 2014 New Zealand general election, when she stood in the Invercargill electorate; [10] this was her first election contest. [11] She placed third in that election and was 12th on the party's list, with New Zealand First winning 11 list seats. [12] Following the election, Bond moved to Wainuiomata, working at Parliament as an executive assistant to MPs Richard Prosser and Mahesh Bindra. [10]

When Peters won the Northland by-election on 28 March 2015 and became an electorate MP, Bond was next in line and became a list MP for her party. [10] Bond was sworn in on 28 April 2015. [13] On 6 May 2015, Bond became a member of the Commerce Select Committee. [8]

She left Parliament after the 2017 New Zealand general election, as New Zealand First did not receive enough votes for her to make it back into Parliament; she then returned to Southland. [14]

On 15 April 2019, Bond announced her candidacy for the 2019 Invercargill mayoral election. [15] However her registration 15 minutes before the deadline was rejected because the correct address of one of her nominators was not on the electoral roll. [16] On 22 July 2022, she announced her candidacy for the 2022 Invercargill mayoral election. [17] She was unsuccessful in the mayoral election but did win a seat on the city council. [18]
