In the 2008 election, Thomas sought election to the U.S. House of Representatives from Georgia's 12th congressional district, running in the Democratic primary against the incumbent, John Barrow.[2] She lost her challenge to Barrow by approximately 50 percentage points.[citation needed] She ran again in 2010,[3] and, after losing the Democratic nomination by 15 points, planned to run as a write-in candidate in the general election,[4] but in August 2010 the office of the Secretary of State of Georgia ruled that she was ineligible to do so.[5]
In January 2019, Thomas announced that she planned to run for Mayor of Savannah, Georgia in that year's election.[6] Thomas received 13.5% of the vote in the first round and was eliminated.
