A Republican, she represents the 72nd State Assembly District, which includes Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Seal Beach, Laguna Hills, Laguna Woods, Lake Forest, Aliso Viejo, and Laguna Beach.[1] She was a former mayor and city councilwoman of Newport Beach.[2]

In 2020, Dixon ran for the California State Assembly against first-term Democrat Cottie Petrie-Norris. Dixon lost the general election by a very narrow margin.
