[6][2] After the local preselection ballot was cancelled with some controversy, Ware was selected "by a committee comprising Prime Minister Scott Morrison, Premier Dominic Perrottet and former federal Liberal Party president Chris McDiven"[6] and announced on 2 April 2022 as the Liberal candidate for the 2022 Australian federal election.

[2] Ware was elected to the House of Representatives in the 2022 election, gaining the New South Wales seat of Hughes from incumbent Craig Kelly of the UAP (former Liberal party member) with a swing of –9.3% against the Liberal party on first preferences and –2.79% on the two-candidate preferred count.

[11] Ware wrote to the Sydney Morning Herald in 2001, praising Pauline Hanson for being in touch with what was "causing Australians the most angst: the BAS (business activity statement), illegal boat people, road funding, competition policy, health, and education", furthermore describing John Howard and Kim Beazley as "out of touch".

When approached about these comments in the lead up to the 2022 election, Ware said that they reflected her frustrations at the time, noting that she had joined the Liberal Party and had been advocating for the important issues since.

[16] Phil Dotti, the first Aboriginal player for the Cronulla Sharks, attended the forum, and after listening to the speakers and not being called on to ask a question, he walked to the stage and spoke.
