Gonzalez made history as the first Latina elected to the Madera County Board of Supervisors and became the first Latina Chairwoman in January 2025. She briefly ran for California Assembly District 27 with endorsements from Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas, Assemblymember Esmeralda Soria, and State Senator Anna Caballero, but withdrew in December 2025 to spend more time with her daughter.
On her withdrawal, Gonzalez stated: "The travel required for a competitive Assembly campaign meant too much time away from home and from my daughter during moments I can't replace." She reported raising $80,000 before withdrawing. Fresno County Supervisor Brian Pacheco subsequently entered the AD-27 race. Gonzalez continues as Madera County Supervisor through 2028.
