She was invested as Mayor of Brihuega (the first female one in the history of the municipality) on 16 June 2007.[3] She went on to command another mandate as mayor in 2011. She became a member of the regional legislature in representation of Guadalajara in December 2011, covering the vacant seat left by Antonio Román Jasanada.[4] She was ousted from the municipal government after the 2015 municipal election, as an alliance of municipal councillors belonging to the Spanish Socialist Workers' Party and Ahora Brihuega invested Luis Viejo as new mayor on 13 June 2015, putting an end to 20 years of PP rule.[5]
