In March 2021, Jalloul was announced in media as candidate in the PSOE list for the 2021 Madrilenian regional election (number 2 second to Ángel Gabilondo),[9][10] so she left her post as Secretary of State on 30 March 2021 to run for office in the regional election.[4] Together with Lina Gálvez, she was chosen to draft the framework presentation for the 40th PSOE Federal Congress.[4] Elected at the May 2021 election, she was pinpointed as the PSOE's spokerperson at the regional legislature following the renouncement of Ángel Gabilondo to assume his seat.[11]
