At Budapest's Corvinus University, Handa began her political career with the ultra-nationalist party Jobbik. She served as its National Press Secretary from 2007.

Following her expulsion, Handa joined Toroczkai's newly formed ultra-right party, Mi Hazánk Movement. She is currently its sole parliamentary representative.
