Career
Haswood announced her campaign for the Kansas House of Representatives from District 10 in May 2020.

During the primary, Haswood began posting videos to a campaign TikTok account about her life and activities, which gradually increased in attention. Due in part to small donations from across the country as a result, Haswood raised the most money of any candidate in the race.[4]
On August 4, 2020, Haswood won the primary with 71% of the vote.[5] No Republican candidate filed to contest the general election. Haswood was elected to the Kansas House unopposed on November 3, 2020.
