Political career
Mađerić entered politics in 1997 at age 15 as an activist for the HDZ Youth. She served as president of the HDZ Youth from 2002 to 2007, which due to its position internally within the party, also made her one of the internal presidents of the Croatian Democratic Union. [2]

According to 2012 Assembly statistics, Mađerić was the second-most active member of the Assembly after Morana Paliković Gruden (HNS). In addition to her duties in the Zagreb Assembly, Mađerić remained a local HDZ political organizer, and the president of the Katarina Zrinska Women's Association.[3] Her third term as councilor ended on December 30, 2016 and she was replaced by Kazimir Ilijaš who served the rest of her term.[4]
In the 2013 Zagreb local elections, she ran as the HDZ candidate for mayor but won only 5.41% of the vote.[5]
Member of Parliament
In the 2015 Croatian parliamentary election, Mađerić ran as a candidate for the Patriotic Coalition, led by the HDZ, and won a seat from the 1st Constituency. During her term she served as Chairperson of the Credentials and Privileges Commission and as member of the Interparliamentary Co-operation Committee, Gender Equality Committee and the Delegation to the Parliamentary Assembly of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe.[1]
