Ingrida Braziulienė is a Lithuanian politician serving as a member of the Seimas (parliament) with the Social Democratic Party of Lithuania (LSDP) faction.

Ingrida Braziulienė was born on 13 August 1974 in Auksodė village of the Mažeikiai district, Lithuania.

Ingrida Braziulienė was born in 1974 and is originally from Auksodė village in the Mažeikiai district of northwestern Lithuania.

She earned a bachelor’s degree in childhood pedagogy from Klaipėda University in 1997 and a master’s degree in education management and public administration from Šiauliai University in 2010.

For over a decade prior to her election, Braziulienė served as the director of the Auksūdžio school in Mažeikiai district (an institution later reorganized into a kindergarten–multifunctional center).

She began her career as a teacher at the Auksodė primary school and taught there from 1995 until 2013.

She is a member of the Social Democratic Party of Lithuania (LSDP) and sits in its parliamentary faction in the Seimas.

She is serving her first term as a member of the Seimas, having had no prior experience in the national parliament before her election in 2024.

Ingrida Braziulienė began her term in the Seimas with the first sitting of the Fourteenth Seimas on 14 November 2024.

Braziulienė’s party, the LSDP, returned to power after the 2024 elections, becoming the ruling party in Lithuania.

Braziulienė served as a member of the Mažeikiai District Municipal Council (local governing council) from 2011 to 2013.

She has been a member of the Social Democratic Party of Lithuania (LSDP) since 2006 and was the deputy chair of the LSDP’s Mažeikiai district branch from 2018 to 2023.

On 29 March 2025, she became a member of the Seimas Commission for the Commemoration of Lithuanian Traditions and Heritage (Lituanistikos tradicijų ir paveldo įprasminimo komisija).

Braziulienė became the chairperson of the Seimas Interparliamentary Relations Group with the Republic of Armenia in December 2024.

She also joined Lithuania’s delegation to the Inter-Parliamentary Assembly of Lithuania, Poland and Ukraine in December 2024, becoming a member of this trilateral parliamentary forum.

Braziulienė serves as a member of the Seimas Ethics and Procedures Commission, a role she began on 4 December 2024.

She is a member of the Seimas Women’s Parliamentary Group and also joined the informal Samogitian MPs’ group in late 2024.

She serves as a member of the Seimas Committee on Education and Science, a position she assumed on 19 November 2024.

In late 2024, Braziulienė joined a number of inter-parliamentary friendship groups, including those for relations with Greece, Spain, Azerbaijan, Estonia, India, Poland, and Ukraine (all as a regular member).

After winning her run-off election, Braziulienė said she decided to run for the Seimas because "the time comes when you need to step out of your comfort zone, since obviously life doesn’t stand still," and admitted she did not expect such a large victory margin.

In the 2024 parliamentary elections, Braziulienė won the run-off vote in the Mažeikiai single-member constituency with 60.56% of the vote, defeating Laima Nagienė (of the party "Vardan Lietuvos"), who received 35.79%.

No candidate secured a majority in the Mažeikiai constituency during the first round of the 2024 Seimas elections on 13 October, resulting in a runoff on 27 October 2024 between Braziulienė and her closest competitor, Laima Nagienė.

She was elected to the Seimas in the parliamentary elections held on 13 October 2024.

In the 2024 parliamentary elections, Braziulienė won a seat in the Seimas representing the Mažeikiai single-member constituency (No. 38).

She was listed as number 101 on the Social Democratic Party of Lithuania’s national candidate list in the 2024 Seimas elections.

As of the start of the 2024–2028 term, the base salary for a rank-and-file Seimas member roughly doubled – from just over €2,000 to nearly €4,000 per month after taxes – meaning Braziulienė’s own parliamentary salary is now around €4k “in hand” each month.

Braziulienė’s mandatory asset and income declarations have shown no unusual wealth or sudden changes; her assets are in line with her career in the public sector, and no financial controversies have arisen in connection with her.

During her tenure as director of the Auksūdžio mokykla-darželis (school–kindergarten center), her monthly gross salary was approximately in the range of €2,000 to €2,500 (estimate, based on typical school director pay in Lithuania).

By law, Braziulienė’s asset declarations encompass both her own and her spouse’s property and income. However, only aggregate totals are made public; no detailed breakdown of her family’s assets or income is available in the public domain.

From 2009 to 2011, Braziulienė served as the elected elder (seniūnaitė) of the Auksodė local subdistrict in Mažeikiai district.

She has been active in local civic life, serving as the deputy head of the Auksodė village community from 2005 to 2011, and as the community’s chairperson since 2011.

In December 2025, Braziulienė co-authored a parliamentary press release urging the oil company Orlen Lietuva to settle unpaid bills with Lithuanian subcontractors after the main contractor for a major Mažeikiai refinery modernization project went bankrupt.

In October 2025, she publicly announced the launch of a government program to renovate student dormitories, criticizing the dorms’ "deplorable" state left by the previous government and arguing that proper living conditions are essential for quality education.

As of late 2025, Braziulienė has maintained a clean public record – there have been no reported scandals, controversies, or ethics violations associated with her since she took office.
