From 1987 to 1992, she was a member of the North St. Paul City Council.

In response to a Minnesota Public Radio (MPR) questionnaire prior to the election that asked why McCollum was running, she responded, "I am running to protect our democracy and our most fundamental freedoms, like women’s reproductive rights, from the dangers posed by Donald Trump and MAGA extremists."

In an MPR questionnanaire that asked why she was running, she responded, "I cannot ignore the challenges facing East Metro Twin Cities and America today. High inflation and escalating crime rates are disrupting our lives, and our children's education is suffering."

Lor Xiong said her main goals are to fight for families suffering from inflation, saying, "Reckless spending in D.C. is stealing food from our children's plate and their future."
