Politics
After joining ODS in 1997, Černochová became active in municipal politics and served as Mayor of Prague 2 from 2006 until 2010.
She was elected to the Chamber of Deputies in the 2010 general election, and again in 2013. In the latter election, she was elected from the third position on the ODS candidate list for Prague; she became first vice-president of the ODS parliamentary group in November 2013.
In the 2014 Czech municipal elections, Černochová defended her seat in the Prague 2 municipal assembly and was elected mayor for a second time.
Černochová contested the parliamentary election in 2017 as the lead candidate for ODS in Prague, and defended her seat receiving 12,426 preferential votes. She also defended her post as first vice-president. Following the 2017 elections, she became the chair of the Chamber of Deputies' defence committee.
In the October 2018 municipal elections, Černochová again led the ODS candidate list in Prague 2, and was re-elected as mayor of the district for the fourth time in November.
In September 2020, Černochová received a warning from the Security Information Service as being among a list of Czechs being monitored by the Chinese firm Zhenhua Data Technology, which is closely connected to the Chinese People's Army and the Chinese secret services. She responded: "It is evident that China's intelligence activities in the world are very active, and the Chinese regime does not only use standard intelligence services, but Chinese companies as well."
In the 2021 parliamentary election, Černochová ran for ODS as the second list member in Prague for the Spolu coalition. She received over 35,500 preferential votes and was re-elected as a Deputy.
