In 2002, she became a Member of the Narodna Rada following the 2002 national election. She supported the 2004 motion of no confidence against the Široký government.
Mišurová's position within the National Civic Party began to rise after its merger with the right-wing Renewal party. This was even more evident in the parties opposition to Prime Minister Andrej Sedláček, leader of the Workers' Party. In 2007, Mišurová led a parliamentary inquiry into the Sedláček government, accusing it of corruption in refusing to privatise state industry. In 2010, she became leader of the Narodna Rada's Justice Committee following her party's victory in the 2010 parliamentary election. In 2011, she joined the Ratkovek cabinet as Minister of Justice.
