==Political career== Lund was first elected into parliament at the 2011 election, where she received 1,150 votes. She ran again at the 2015 election, receiving 1,463 votes. Despite this being more votes than she received at the 2011 election, it wasn't enough for a parliamentary seat. This result led her to become the Red-Green Alliance's primary substitute in the Copenhagen constituency. She was called upon once during the term, acting as substitute for Johanne Schmidt-Nielsen from 5 March 2018 to 28 February 2019. At the 2019 election, she received 3,653 votes and was elected directly into parliament.<ref>{{cite web |title=Valgte kandidater og stedfortrædere, Folketingsvalg torsdag 15. september 2011 |url=https://www.dst.dk/valg/Valg1204271/kandstat/kandstat.htm |website=Dst.dk |access-date=10 August 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Valgte kandidater og stedfortrædere, Folketingsvalg torsdag 18. juni 2015 |url=https://www.dst.dk/valg/Valg1487635/kandstat/kandstat.htm |website=Dst.dk |access-date=10 August 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Valgte kandidater og stedfortrædere, Folketingsvalg onsdag 5. juni 2019 |url=https://www.dst.dk/valg/Valg1684447/kandstat/kandstat.htm |website=Dst.dk |access-date=10 August 2021}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Rosa Lund |url=https://www.paqle.dk/p/rosa-lund/177310 |website=Paqle.dk |access-date=10 August 2021}}</ref>
==Personal life==
Rosa Lund suffers from the medical condition sclerosis and has, since she made it public, made it part of her political agenda to better conditions for others who suffer from the same condition.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Cloos |first1=Amalie |title=Rosa Lund: Da jeg fik sklerose, tænkte jeg, at ingen nogensinde ville elske mig igen |url=https://www.kristeligt-dagblad.dk/mennesker/rosa-lund-da-jeg-fik-sklerose-taenkte-jeg-ingen-nogensinde-ville-elske-mig-igen |access-date=24 May 2024 |publisher=Kristlig Dagblad |date=7 December 2023}}</ref>

When Rosa Lund, as political education spokesman and MP for Red–Green Alliance in 2012, was interviewed by MetroXpress about the sentence she said:
{{Blockquote|''It's a bit hard to answer whether I'd do anything illegal again. It depends on the case. If there are people who are unfairly treated, asylum seekers for instance, then it can become necessary to break the law''.<ref>[https://fyens.dk/artikel/el-s-rosa-lund-angrer-ikke-sin-anholdelse-2012-1-5 Ritzau (2012) EL's Rosa Lund angrer ikke sin anholdelse].

The legal spokesmen of Conservative and Danish People's Party called the remark respectively ”problematic” and ”unheard-of”.[https://www.etik.dk/politik-og-moral/m%C3%A5-et-folketingsmedlem-sige-det-kan-v%C3%A6re-n%C3%B8dvendigt-bryde-loven] In February 2021 Pernille Vermund (NB) asked in Parliament whether the quote to MetroXpress was still Rosa Lund's opinion. In response, Rosa Lund replied "No".[https://mobiltv.ft.dk/video/20201/salen/59 1:13:24]
