She won the district in 2024 with 13,634 votes, 47.35% of the valid vote, according to the Elections BC statement of votes. Sonia Furstenau of the BC Green Party was second with 9,644 votes. The legislature record lists her election years as 2020 and 2024. The government named her Minister of State for Child Care in the cabinet of December 7, 2022. CHEK News reported on January 15, 2024 that the Premier made her Minister of Children and Family Development. The legislature record shows her in that post again from November 18 to December 9, 2024, and as a minister without portfolio from December 10, 2024. In the legislature in 2026 she spoke for a bill that changes tenancy rules in supportive housing, for the bill on safe access to places of worship, and against an amendment to a motion on the Human Rights Code. In July 2026 she wrote a column in Victoria News for Pride. Her campaign page describes her as an anti-violence advocate, academic instructor and researcher, and says she served as Parliamentary Secretary for Gender Equity. Those are the campaign's own statements. A government biography also names her as Parliamentary Secretary for Gender Equity.
