On April 3, 2024, she was announced by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors to have been selected for appointment to the Arizona House of Representatives, and was sworn in the following day. Nardozzi replaced incumbent Representative Jevin Hodge, who resigned after being appointed to the position just over a month prior.^[2][3]

Nardozzi did not run for reelection in 2024, but she did seek the Democratic nomination for the Arizona Senate when Melody Hernandez withdrew from the primary due to challenges to her nominating signatures. Local party precinct committee members voted instead to select Lauren Kuby on a 39-28 vote margin.^[4]
