Eslick first ran for the state legislature in 2001, losing in the Republican primary to Dan Kristiansen. In 2014, Eslick lost her campaign for Snohomish County Executive against John Lovick.[3][4]

Following the resignation of John Koster, Eslick was one of three Republican candidates nominated to fill the vacancy, along with former Representative Elizabeth Scott and Georgene Faries.
