She resides in Glanshammar and is married to local politician David Kronlid; the couple has two children together: a daughter and a son.[4] She worked as a volunteer nurse for the Pingstmission development work at a hospital clinic in Papua New Guinea.[5][6] Kronlid currently sits on the Riksdagens Committee on Foreign Affairs specializing in foreign politics and humanitarian assistance politics for other countries. She said during the Sweden Democrats annual party congress in 2009 that she thought her party should help refugees in the area of the crisis.[1]

In an article in Svenska Dagbladet in December 2015, Kronlid criticized that 30% of Swedish foreign aid was used to finance immigration into Sweden.[7] She stated that after she had been visiting refugee camps in both Jordan and Lebanon, she thought it was obvious that more aid was needed to the immediate area of the crisis and not for immigration costs for Sweden.[7]

Kronlid believes that human evolution should not be the only theory taught to children in schools.[8] She has stated that she does not believe in the evolutionary theory that humankind stems from the apes.[8][9][10]
