Lundgren is a member of the Iowa Republican Party.[6] In 2018, her political career began when she won the election to become a Representative in the Iowa State House of Representative. In July 2026, Lundgren wrote a character letter on official Iowa House of Representatives letterhead to the court on behalf of David John Lehmann, who had been convicted of molesting a child, asking the judge to consider his positive character and community involvement when imposing his sentence. The decision drew criticism from members of the community and others, with critics arguing that a state legislator should prioritize the interests and safety of victims of child sexual abuse; Lundgren nevertheless defended her decision to write the letter. She represents district 65.[5][4]
