Lina Šukytė-Korsakė was born on 1970-11-17 in the Šilalė district of Lithuania.

She earned a Bachelor’s degree in Public Health (2010), a Master’s degree in Nursing (2012), and a Master’s in Innovative Technologies Business Management (2020) at Klaipėda University.

After becoming a Member of Seimas in late 2024, Šukytė-Korsakė’s compensation shifted to the national legislature’s pay scale. In 2024, Lithuania passed a law adjusting parliamentary salaries; as a result, a rank-and-file Seimas member’s net monthly pay increased to roughly €3,781 (up from about €2,183 previously). As a committee chair, her salary is slightly higher due to a larger coefficient, but generally falls in the mid-€3,000s net per month range.

From April 2023 to late 2024, Šukytė-Korsakė served as a Vice Mayor of Klaipėda City. The average monthly gross salary for Klaipėda’s vice-mayors in 2023 was about €4,192, rising to approximately €5,679 gross per month in the first quarter of 2024.

She was the deputy director of UAB “SG konsultacinė klinika” from 2020 until 2023.

She was a lecturer at Klaipėda University from 2015 to 2020.

She served as the chief administrator of the private medical company UAB “Medikana” from 1999 to 2020.

She worked as a biomedical technologist at Klaipėda University Hospital for approximately three decades, from 1993 until 2023.

During her nearly 30-year healthcare career, Šukytė-Korsakė’s earnings were relatively modest. For instance, allied health professionals like biomedical technologists at Klaipėda University Hospital earn around €2,270 gross per month on average, and academic staff at Klaipėda University average roughly €2,500–€2,700 gross monthly. Consequently, her annual income stayed in the tens of thousands (about €17.8k in 2017) until she assumed higher public offices. By comparison, as Vice Mayor and later an MP, her pay increased substantially (she declared ~€67.9k income for 2023).

She has taught at a university and has worked in the nursing field.

In late 2025, she considered running for the chairperson position of “Nemuno aušra”, challenging the incumbent party leader Remigijus Žemaitaitis.

Since 2024 she has been serving as a deputy chairperson of the political party “Nemuno Aušra”.

She serves as the Deputy Head of the Lithuanian Seimas’ Inter-Parliamentary Relations Group with the Republic of Austria.

She has been a member of the Seimas (Parliament of Lithuania) since November 14, 2024, in the 2024–2028 legislative term.

She is currently affiliated with the political party “Nemuno Aušra”.

She is the chairperson of the Klaipėda city branch of the “Nemuno Aušra” party.

She served as Deputy Mayor of Klaipėda City Municipality from 2023 to 2024.

From 2019 to 2023 she was a member of the Freedom and Justice (Laisvė ir teisingumas) party.

From 2010 until 2019 she was a member of the Order and Justice (Tvarka ir teisingumas) party.

She serves as the Chairperson of the Seimas Health Affairs Committee.

In the October 2024 Seimas elections, representing the “Nemuno Aušra” party, Šukytė-Korsakė not only won a seat via the party’s national list but also contested the Baltijos single-member constituency in Klaipėda. She advanced to the runoff in that district, where she was narrowly defeated by Vytautas Grubliauskas (LSDP), earning about 43.7% of the vote in the second round (versus Grubliauskas’ 50.3%).

In 2024, she was elected to the Seimas as a candidate on the “Nemuno Aušra” party list.

In the October 2020 Seimas elections, Šukytė-Korsakė again attempted to gain a parliamentary seat. Representing the newly formed Freedom and Justice (Laisvė ir teisingumas) party, she ran in Klaipėda’s Baltijos single-member constituency. She finished outside the top two contenders (who were the TS-LKD and LVŽS candidates in that district) and thus did not advance to the runoff. Nationally, the Freedom and Justice party also failed to secure any Seimas seats, as it did not meet the 5% vote threshold (garnering only around 2% of the vote).

She first ran for a seat on Klaipėda City Municipal Council in the 2019 local elections (as a candidate of the Order and Justice party) but was not elected. She later entered the council after the 2023 municipal elections and was appointed one of Klaipėda’s Vice Mayors that year.

In the 2012 Seimas elections, Lina Šukytė-Korsakė ran as candidate #63 on the Order and Justice party list, received 821 preferential votes (raising her list position to 39th after re-ranking), but did not win a mandate. In 2016, she vied for a Seimas seat in Klaipėda’s Danė single-member constituency, where she placed 7th out of 9 candidates with 643 votes (about 3.8%). She again ran for Seimas in 2020, this time in the Baltijos constituency, but was unsuccessful in winning a seat.

In September 2025, Šukytė-Korsakė had to address a scandal in her party’s Klaipėda branch when a member (Irina Černikienė) posted an anti-Lithuanian message on Facebook urging for the country’s occupation. Šukytė-Korsakė condemned the statement as unacceptable and noted that the member resigned from “Nemuno Aušra” following the incident.
