California State Assembly

Conway entered the 2008 election to succeed termed-out Bill Maze in the California State Assembly. In the primary, she faced two candidates, Rebecca Maze (the incumbent's wife) and Bob Smith, a retired sheriff's deputy, and won.

After her reelection to the Assembly on November 2, 2010, Conway was elected by her Republican colleagues as the Assembly Republican Leader after a closed-door meeting of Assembly Republicans on November 4. She said that outgoing Minority Leader Martin Garrick had voluntarily stepped down, and she had been elected unanimously. Conway was the first woman to serve as GOP assembly leader since 1981.

Under the term limits law in effect in California at the time, Conway was limited to three terms in the Assembly; she stepped down at the end of her third term in 2014.
