In 2019, state Representative Sarah LaTourette resigned from her seat to take a position in the non-profit sector.[4] Ohio House Republicans appointed Grendell to succeed her. She was sworn in on May 29, 2019 and will serve the remainder of LaTourette's term. In 2020, she won her primary election against Republican Frank Hall by a decisive victory - an 11 point (percentage) win in Geuaga, but a large 52 point victory in Portage [5].
