Political career[]

In the 2011 general election on 19 October 2011, Pinel received 1,314 votes and was elected with 50% of the vote, becoming one of two deputies elected to represent St Clement alongside Gerard Baudains.[1] In November 2011, Pinel was one of Sir Philip Bailhache's nominators in the 2011 election of the Chief Minister of Jersey.[4] She served as the Assistant Minister for Social Security from 2011 to 2014.[5]

She had been nominated by the Chief Minister, Senator Ian Gorst.[7]

She was re-elected in the 2018 general election on 16 May 2018, receiving 1,499 votes.[8] On 6 June 2018, she was named by the Chief Minister, Senator John Le Fondré, as his ministerial nominee for Minister for Treasury and Resources.[9] She was elected unopposed the following day.[2] In 2020, she backed a proposal to amend the tax code to remove a provision from 1928 which considered a wife's income to belong to her husband and did not allow a woman to speak to Revenue Jersey about tax matters without her husband's permission.[10]

In July 2021, she joined the Jersey Alliance, a new centre-right political party which was founded by Chief Minister Le Fondré and Deputy Gregory Guida.[11]
