She was first elected to Parliament in the 1999 election, winning the Northcote electorate. She was re-elected for Northcote in 2002, but in 2005 was defeated by Jonathan Coleman, a long-standing rival. She remained in Parliament as a list candidate.
Hartley served as the Deputy Speaker of the House in the 47th New Zealand Parliament and the Assistant Speaker from the 2005 general election until her retirement from national politics in February 2008.[4] She was replaced by former environment minister Marian Hobbs as Assistant Speaker[5] and by Louisa Wall as Labour list MP.[6]
