According to Wikipedia
Willis contested the 2017 election as National's candidate for the electorate of Wellington Central, and was number 48 on the party list. Based on preliminary results, she would enter parliament, but in the final results, National went down two seats whilst the Labour and Green parties increased by a seat each. Willis was second in line should there be a vacancy in a list seat held by a National Party MP during the 52nd New Zealand Parliament, and following Bill English's and Steven Joyce's resignations in March 2018, she and Maureen Pugh entered parliament.
Willis was appointed National's spokesperson on early childhood education by leader Simon Bridges.
Willis played a significant role in the leadership coup that saw Bridges removed as Leader and replaced by Todd Muller,acting as Muller's "numbers man" alongside Chris Bishop. She was subsequently promoted to 14th in caucus with the portfolios of Housing and Urban Development, and retaining Early Childhood Education
