Political career
In 2018, Mihalek ran for election to represent District 40 in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. She won a three-way Republican primary with 46.7% of the vote, and went on to win the general election with 56.1% of the vote. She was re-elected in 2020.[1]
In November 2020, a man was arrested for stalking Mihalek and accused of soaping her district office's windows, apparently because Mihalek was unwilling to attempt to overturn Pennsylvania's 2020 presidential election results.[4][5]
