In March 2023, she was the Labour Party’s candidate for Mayor of Vilnius in the municipal elections.
„Darbo partijos kandidatė – Seimo nario mandatą turinti 32 metų Ieva Kačinskaitė-Urbonienė. Ekonomikos ir politikos mokslus baigusi politikė turi darbo patirties ir savivaldybėje, ir šiek tiek versle.“
She was a Labour Party candidate in the 2014 elections to the European Parliament (for the 2014–2019 term), though she did not win a seat.
„…Darbo partijos kandidatė į 2014–2019 metų Europos Parlamentą…“
She did not participate as a candidate in the 2024 parliamentary elections.
„pernai rudenį nedalyvavo rinkimuose“
In October 2020, she was elected to the Seimas as a Labour Party candidate on the party’s nationwide list.
„Nominated by: Labour Party … Elected: By list“
In the 2016 parliamentary elections, the Labour Party garnered only 4.69% of the national vote and failed to secure any seats, meaning she did not enter the Seimas at that time.
„8 | … Darbo partija | 4,69% | 0 mand. | 0 mand. … Darbo partija į naujojo Seimo sudėtį nepatektų.“
In the October 2020 Seimas elections, the Labour Party rebounded, winning 9.43% of the vote and securing 10 parliamentary mandates (9 via the national list and 1 in a single-member constituency), which allowed her to enter the Seimas.
„| Darbo partija | 110,773 | 9,43% | 9 |... | 1 |... | 10 |...“
She was ranked 5th on the Labour Party’s national candidate list in the 2020 parliamentary elections and remained 5th after preferential votes were counted, securing one of the party’s nine list-based Seimas seats.
„5/5 | Ieva Kačinskaitė-Urbonienė | Naujamiesčio-Naujininkų“
In the same 2020 election, she also ran in the single-member Naujamiesčio–Naujininkų constituency in Vilnius, but was not elected from that district.
„5/5 | Ieva Kačinskaitė-Urbonienė | Naujamiesčio-Naujininkų“

Her official asset and income declarations have not indicated any extraordinary personal wealth. A large donation she made in 2014 drew scrutiny, but tax authorities reviewed her financial declarations and found no irregularities.
„Valstybinė mokesčių inspekcija išnagrinėjusi I. Kačinskaitės-Urbonienės pajamų ir turto deklaracijas, finansinę situaciją pažeidimų nerado.“

Kontroversijos 4
She stated that the Labour Party’s decision to proceed with the 2024 European Parliament elections while a legal investigation was still ongoing was "the last straw" that led to her resignation from the party.
„„Paskutinis lašas buvo sprendimas dalyvauti Europos parlamento rinkimuose tebevykstant tyrimui, kurio detalės partijai vis dar nėra žinomos… Mano manymu, mes turėjome sustoti, viską išsiaiškinti ir tik tada priimti… sprendimus“, – rašo I. Kačinskaitė-Urbonienė.“
During her tenure as a Vilnius City Council member, she was involved in an incident where an important vote was recorded in her name despite her absence from the chamber; a subsequent inquiry found it was a technical error and that she had committed no wrongdoing.
„…per svarbų balsavimą nebuvo Vilniaus miesto tarybos posėdžių salėje, nors elektroninė balsavimo sistema rodė ką kita. Ši techninė klaida galėjo pakenkti politikės įvaizdžiui, tačiau tyrimas labai greitai buvo nutrauktas, nes nebuvo įžvelgta jokių politikės veiksmų, pažeidžiančių… tvarką“
In 2014, she donated 40,000 Lithuanian litas to the Labour Party and another 4,000 litas to Artūras Paulauskas’s presidential campaign fund, an unusually large contribution that prompted public scrutiny; the State Tax Inspectorate reviewed her finances and found no irregularities.
„2014 m. balandžio pabaigoje I. Kačinskaitė-Urbonienė Darbo partijai paaukojo 40 tūkst. litų, o gegužę – 4 tūkst. litų pervedė į buvusio kandidato į prezidentus Artūro Paulausko rinkimų sąskaitą… viešojoje erdvėje sukėlė diskusiją, tačiau Valstybinė mokesčių inspekcija… pažeidimų nerado“
In early 2025, she publicly revealed that she had experienced sexual harassment in the Seimas by an older colleague (whose identity she did not disclose).
„Šiemet buvusi politikė žiniasklaidai pareiškė Seime patyrusį seksualinį priekabiavimą iš vyresnio kolegos, kurio ji neįvardijo“
