She went on to win the general election against Democratic opponent,land use attorney David Singer,with 57% of the vote.

In 2017,Toledo introduced a bill to the Florida House of Representatives to "promote and encourage childbirth," by funding anti-abortion organizations. The bill directed state funds to Florida Pregnancy Care Network,Inc.,an organization that explicitly does not make referrals to abortion providers,with the funds earmarked to support direct client services,promotional campaigns,and a call center. The bill restricted Florida Pregnancy Care Network to only subcontracting with "providers that exclusively promote and support childbirth". [15] [16] [17] Opponents to the bill objected that it would block the state from awarding contracts to organizations that provide information on birth control and abortion services. [18] Other concerns with the bill included that it was duplicative of the Healthy Start program;it spent money with an organization offering referrals rather than healthcare;and,though the bill blocked providers from discussing religion,provided the funds to an organization with a religious agenda. [19]
In 2018,Toledo supported a bill that created a new class of charter schools. [20]
In 2018,Toledo received an "F" rating from the Florida Education Association. [21]

[22]
In Toledo's 2016 campaign,she received an "A" rating from the NRA. In 2018,her rating dropped to a "C" for supporting legislation,following the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting that raised the age to purchase of a rifle from 18 to 21 and put armed officers in schools. [23] In 2018,Toledo voted against banning semiautomatic rifles. [24]
Toledo supported Florida's Stand-your-ground law,calling "a tool to help people protect themselves." [25]
In her 2016 campaign,Toledo promised to repeal in-state tuition and law licenses for "illegal aliens.” [26] However,when a bill was introduced in 2018 to repeal in-state tuition for undocumented immigrants,Toledo was not a sponsor and never publicly commented on it. [27]
Toledo opposed Florida taking federal money to expand Medicaid. [28]
Toledo supported 2019 legislation restricting voting rights to individuals who have received a felony to those who paid all fines and fees resulting from the sentence or probation. The bill was associated with the 2018 Florida constitutional amendments voters passed to restore the voting rights of individuals who received felonies. [29]
