She has a master's degree in political science and a specialty in Political Institutions and Processes, as well as an MBA in business management from IPADE.[1] She chaired the Justice and Human Rights Commission of the LXI Legislature in the State Congress.[2] She was also Undersecretary of Citizen Participation and Institutional Liaison in the Government of the State of Sonora.[3] From 2011 to 2015 she was president of the Sonoran State Participation Board and State Public Relations Coordinator of the Ministry of Health of the Government of Baja California.[1] From 2015 to 2018 she was a local deputy in the LXI Legislature for District II of the State of Sonora representing the National Action Party (PAN).[2]
In 2018 she ran as a candidate for municipal president of Hermosillo for the National Regeneration Movement party (Morena), being elected, becoming the third woman in the history of Hermosillo to be municipal president through the vote.[4] She held the position until 8 April 2021, when she requested a leave of absence to run for reelection as mayor of Hermosillo in the 2021 Sonora State Elections, this being the first time that a mayor seeks reelection in the capital.[5] On 11 June 2021, after losing reelection to the mayor of Hermosillo, she returns to conclude her three-year term.[6] On 6 September 2021, the elected governor of Sonora, Alfonso Durazo, included López Cárdenas in his cabinet, making it known that she would be in charge of the state Tourism Secretariat once his government began.[7]
