Political career
Letanovská ran in the 2020 Slovak parliamentary election on the list of For the People party. She failed to win a mandate, but nonetheless became a deputy as a replacement for Vladimír Ledecký during the time he served as a State Secretary from 2020 to 2021, as the Slovak constitution does not allow for combination of government membership and parliament mandate. Following the loss of her seat, she left the party as well due to her disagreements with the leadership of Veronika Remišová.{{Cite web |last= |date=2021-05-08 |title=Letanovská odchádza zo strany Za ľudí.
