Petrie-Norris was first elected to the State Assembly in November 2018 after defeating the previous incumbent, Republican Matthew Harper.[3] In 2020, Petrie-Norris was elected to a second term by a very narrow margin over Newport Beach Mayor Diane Dixon.[4]

After the once-a-decade redistricting, Petrie-Norris moved to Irvine to run in the new 73rd assembly. Her opponent Republican assembly member Steven Choi was very critical of her relocation to Irvine.[citation needed]

Petrie-Norris serves as Chair of the Utilities and Energy Committee of the State Assembly.[5]
