Political career

Rodríguez Zamora served as a city councilor (regidora) of Tihuatlán between 2014 and 2017.[2]

In 2018, the PRD placed Rodríguez first on its party list from the third electoral region, all but guaranteeing her a seat in the Chamber of Deputies.[3]

Kidnapping

On 15 August 2018, it was reported that she was kidnapped at gunpoint. According to reports, Rodríguez was travelling on a highway in Hidalgo, when two gunmen shot at her car, injuring an assistant and driver, and causing the car to overturn. The gunmen then pulled Rodríguez out from her car and forced her into their vehicle.[4][5] The next day the newspaper Milenio reported that she had been safely returned to relatives, unharmed except for an injury to her arm sustained when her vehicle overturned.[6] The newspaper could not determine whether a ransom had been paid.
