Redistricting moved Klein's home into the same district as Senate President Steve Pierce. Rather than face him, she decided to run in the Arizona House of Representatives. As a result, she lost the Republican primary to incumbents Andy Tobin and Karen Fann.

Klein ran in the 2010 election for Arizona State Senate District 6. She defeated incumbent Republican David Braswell in the August 24 primary by a margin of 10,846-8,324. Klein then defeated Pat Flickner in the November 2 general election.

Controversy

Klein sparked a debate about Arizona's gun laws after allegedly demonstrating her .380 Ruger's laser sight by pointing it at the chest of a reporter during an interview.[2]
