She was elected for La République En Marche! in the 2nd constituency of Bouches-du-Rhône with 54.7% of the vote in the second round.[1] She joined the Committee on Social Affairs.
In September 2019, Pitollat was designated to hold one of the vice presidencies of the La République En Marche group in the National Assembly alongside Bénédicte Peyrol, but only remained in that position for a few months. In the 2020 municipal election in Marseille, she supported without result the establishment of an electoral alliance with The Republicans led by Martine Vassal.[2]
In the 2022 legislative election, she was reelected with 61.6% of the second-round vote. In the 16th National Assembly under the Fifth Republic, she joined the Committee on Sustainable Development, Spatial and Regional Planning.
