In her first campaign for political office, Schiavo defeated incumbent Republican Assemblywoman Suzette Valladares in the November 2022 election by 522 votes.[4][5] In 2022, Schiavo earned the endorsement of the Los Angeles Times, among dozens of others.

In her first year in office, Schiavo has put more than $675,000 back in people’s pockets, secured an historic $20 million in critical infrastructure investments that came directly back to our community, and has worked on legislation focused on housing affordability, homelessness, and health care.[6]
