Political career
Nedweski first became politically active in opposition to distance learning in the Kenosha Unified School District during the COVID-19 pandemic. In January 2021, she was a co-founder of the Kenosha chapter of Moms for Liberty—a conservative advocacy group directed at taking control of school boards. That was followed by more aggressive confrontation with the Kenosha School Board in 2021. Ultimately, she sought to organize a recall effort against Kenosha's school board president, but failed to collect enough signatures to force an election. Following the failure of the recall petition, Nedweski won election to the Kenosha County board of supervisors in the Spring 2022 election, running in an open seat.In the same Spring 2022 election, incumbent state representative Samantha Kerkman was elected county executive of Kenosha County, and would therefore have to resign her Assembly seat. Nedweski announced her campaign for Wisconsin State Assembly just a month after winning her seat on the county board. She defeated bar owner Mike Honold in the Republican primary and went on to win 64% of the general election vote in the heavily Republican district.
She assumed office in January 2023.
