Political career edit

Reis has served on the municipal assembly of her home town of Fundão since 2013. In 2020 she also became a member of the Assembly of the intermunicipal community of the Beiras e Serra da Estrela. A member of the Social Democratic Party (PSD), she was elected to the Portuguese parliament in March 2024 as the first candidate on the list presented by the Democratic Alliance for the Castelo Branco constituency. In January 2024 allegations were made that she had plagiarised parts of her PhD thesis. She denied this and, noting that the allegations were made two months before the election, attributed them to her political rivals.[3][4][6][7]
