In the negotiations to form a fourth coalition government under Merkel's leadership following the 2017 federal elections, Ryglewski was part of the working group on internal and legal affairs, led by Thomas de Maizière, Stephan Mayer and Heiko Maas. From 2018 until 2019, she was her parliamentary group's spokesperson for consumer protections issues.
