Wilson was formerly a Saskatchewan Party MLA who served as the Provincial Secretary in the governments of Brad Wall and Scott Moe.

In 2009, Premier Brad Wall appointed Wilson as Legislative Secretary to the Minister responsible for Immigration - New Citizen Initiative.

[4] In 2019, Wilson was charged with two counts of common assault after a conflict with her step-mother and step-brother about care for her father, who died later that year.

[6][7] Wilson resigned from her position as Provincial Secretary in the cabinet, but remained in the Saskatchewan Party caucus throughout the process.

[21][22] The SUP ran its first candidate in a by-election on August 10; Jon Hromek finished second to the Saskatchewan Party's Blaine McLeod in the Lumsden-Morse contest, claiming 23% of the votes.

Wilson stated that she was "very pleased" with the result, and attributed it to the party advocating for more parental involvement in the education system.

[23] Later that month, the Saskatchewan Party government introduced new education policies restricting sexual health education and requiring parental consent for children under 16 wishing to have their chosen names and pronouns affirmed at school; the government went on to introduce legislation titled the "Parents' Bill of Rights".

Wilson supported the legislation and took credit for forcing the government to introduce it, and also for its willingness to invoke the notwithstanding clause to turn it into law after a court injunction against the policy was granted in September.
