She was elected to the Georgia House of Representatives in 2020, and she currently serves on the Agriculture & Consumer Affairs, Industry and Labor and Information and Energy Utilities and Telecommunications.

Rep. Thomas’s political experience originally began working on U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s campaign for the California General Assembly. This experienced allowed her to share her expertise with others seeking to serve in elected office. In 2018 and 2019, she served as a legislative aide for the Georgia General Assembly and was also a key team member behind the South Fulton’s city-hood efforts. She gained an appreciation for leaders that stayed connected to their constituents and was an active presence at community meetings before she took office.
