[1] Arriving in Mexico City, Galindo joined a liberal club and became a public supporter of Venustiano Carranza, lobbying against Porfirio Díaz.

She became his private secretary and continued rallying support for the rights of Mexican women and liberal ideologies.

Gabriela Cano, historian, reported that "it was the first time that, in Mexico, a woman contended as an electoral choice".

Though some records show Galindo won a majority of the votes, the Electoral College rejected her results, claiming that they were only complying with the law forbidding women.
