Mitchell was elected as a TD in the 2016 general election. She is the party's spokesperson on Dublin and a junior spokesperson on housing. She was involved in the anti-water charges campaign in Coolock.

The people of Dublin Bay North know that I am a strong, hard working TD that represents the working class communities that have been abandoned by Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael for generations.

While it is hard to pick just one topic for an area the size of my constituency, housing is by far the biggest issue that my office deals with day in, day out. The lack of social and affordable housing is a scourge on the people of Dublin.

I would hope to get back to work fighting against rising homelessness, spiralling insurance costs, an out of control trolley crisis and the wave of gang crime endangering our communities.
