After an eight-year hiatus, shes collecting signatures to appear on the June primary ballot. The rural district, roughly the size of Connecticut, also has another Democratic contender, Yolanda Pancha Jaramillo.

She lost the 2018 primary to Susan Herrera, who capitalized on Rodellas ties to high-interest loans and a pro-Republican PAC.
