Born in Oulu, Tuppurainen was elected to the Finnish Parliament for the Social Democratic Party in 2011, from the constituency of Oulu.[1] In 2019 she was re-elected to the parliament for the term 2019–2023.[2]

Tuppurainen was appointed Minister for European Affairs in the cabinet of Prime Minister Antti Rinne in 2019.[1][3] When Finland held the rotating presidency of the Council of the European Union, she led talks with member states over its budget for the years 2021–2027.[4]

After the collapse of Rinne Cabinet in December 2019, Tuppurainen continued in the subsequent Marin Cabinet, in which she had "Ownership Steering" added to her ministerial portfolio.[5] This refers to the policy for government-owned companies.[6] During her tenure she oversaw the €6 billion loss of Uniper from Fortum, which is majority state-owned.
