Hooton serves on the House Energy & Environment Committee, the House Transportation & Local Government Committee, and the Capitol Development Committee.[3]
Hooton was elected to the House of Representatives in 2016; she won the Democratic primary with 51.24% of the vote against opponent Angelique Espinoza and ran unopposed in the general election.[4]
In 2022, Hooton initially ran for re-election to her District 10 state house seat. She ran unopposed in and won the Democratic primary held on June 28, 2022.[5] However, in an undated statement released about August 1, 2022, Hooton announced she was dropping out of the race, stating "My husband Jim retired three years ago, and I want to spend more time with him and my adult children and pursue personal interests." A vacancy committee selected a replacement candidate for the November general election.[6][7]
